About this event

Join researchers at Newcastle University’s Open Lab and at Northumbria University, along with our external industry and community partners, to mark the end of the EPSRC Digital Economy Research Centre (2015 – 21).

Through this programme, we’ve explored personal and participatory digital technologies and how they can support local communities, local service provision and local democracy. Hear about our work, including projects with the International Federation of the Red Cross, Newcastle City Council and Nexus. We will also talk about what we’re doing next following the launch this year of the EPSRC Centre for Digital Citizens, a Next Stage Digital Economy Centre (2020 – 2025).

This is a hybrid event and you are welcome to join us in-person at the Catalyst, Newcastle Helix, or we’ll be streaming this live as a virtual event.

Please join us for refreshments before the main presentations (which will be from 4 – 6pm), and we invite you to stay afterwards for a celebratory drinks reception with Street Food, which will run until around 8pm.
