Hello <br>
<br>
Long time no post! <br>
<br>
If any of you folk have a project for this: <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.nesta.org.uk/areas_of_work/public_services_lab/make_it_local">http://www.nesta.org.uk/areas_of_work/public_services_lab/make_it_local</a><br>
<br>
a £30k funding opportunity - "
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Make it Local is encouraging local authorities to release
publicly-owned data in a linked way which allows developers an
opportunity to build new services using the information.", then get in
touch... <br>
<br>
Its a bit of a long shot because its a quick turnaround (deadline is 20
August, we only unfortunately just heard about it) but if there is some
ready-to-go project out there that is already building momentum that
overlaps with this fund, FACT might be able to help contextualize it in
an application and put you in touch with a local authority contact. <br>
<br>
We'd be looking probably only for projects that are either in
partnership with established local companies or are pretty well
underway already with some momentum and an infrastructure to support
them - just in consideration of the fact that they will be looking to
make sure the projects are feasible and reputable, and while we'd
normally be up for incubating any ol' crazy idea to a stage where its
got this credibility, we don't have much time this time around. <br>
<br>
Anyway thought there might be someone on this list interested, even if
you just want to go ahead with your own application! <br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Heather <br>
