8 & 9 SEPTEMBER 2017 – MEDIA LAB DAYS @ SudOuest in Bordeaux, France

The Media Lab Day is the first ‘live’ event directly related to our Media Innovation Mapping research project which plans to ‘map’ innovation labs, clusters and a selection of projects globally.

The aim of our research is to establish insights on how the media labs are structured, and why they were created, what type of methods they use to innovate, their products and services, and stories of their successes and failures.

When speaking to the labs, many expressed an interest in the best practices and methods of the other labs, so we decided to get them together in the same room.

The goal of this event is to offer an opportunity for the people we are connecting (Heads of Labs, Innovation officers etc.) to meet in person and discuss successes and challenges together, while hosted by one of our Media Labs: Theophraste Startup accelerator in Bordeaux.

The event is free of charge and for WAN-IFRA members, but the number of places is limited. Participation will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Participants include: Nordjyske Medier, Media Innovation Studio (University of Central Lancashire) Roularta Startup Accelerator, NHST Media, Media Maker Space (The Danish School of Media and Journalism), Polaris Media ASA, BBC News Labs, APA Media Lab (Austria Presse Agency), NxtMedia Norway, Stibo Accelerator, Medialab AFP (Agence France Presse) and Media Lab Bayern.
