BESiDE contributed to the Digital Economy All Hands Meeting 2014 'The application of Digital Innovation'.

The Digital Economy All Hands conference brings together the UK's most innovative thinkers and researchers to share ideas on how to impact society across a range of sectors; including, transport, healthcare, financial services, and the creative industries.

BESiDE sent a sizable delegation to the meeting to engage with this multi-disciplinary enviroment brought togethor by the Research Councils (RCUK) cross-council theme.  This provided us with an oppourtunity to present, see, and discuss work focussed on impact at individual, community and industry levels.
