Ok, the weather may not be exactly sizzling but we sure are. It's been another great month at Alienation with some fantastic new deals.
University of Warwick - Warwick Digital Laboratory
The renowned Warwick Digital Lab is a £50 Million pound initiative to facilitate major collaborative research opportunities, create effective knowledge transfer between academia and industry and generate new knowledge and skills with an impact on business, society and the economy. It includes a 5000m2 state of the art facility next to WMG’s International Manufacturing Centre at the University of Warwick, to provide an innovative environment for collaborative research, demonstrators, knowledge transfer and training. It is the first facility of its kind in the world. The Digital Lab is led by WMG, working with some of the best minds and most successful businesses in the world.
Speaking about the lab, former Prime Minister Tony Blair said: “When we talk about ground-breaking science with practical applications, we need look no further than the West Midlands. The Warwick Digital Lab will provide a high quality research environment for multidisciplinary teams. One aspect of this research is creating realistic virtual environments for the training of surgeons or the design of new operating theatres. This is research which will position the UK at the forefront of medical technology.”
In a two phase project, Alienation Digital will be developing and designing the new WDL website that will feature a host of innovative and interactive features, building on the cutting edge work the lab already do.
University of Edinburgh - Institute for Stem Cell Research (EuroSyStem)
Adding another University to our growing list of educational establishments we work with, EuroSyStem is a framework VII partnership between Universities, small to medium businesses (SMEs) and named researchers from both the public and private sector. They aim to drive the generation of new knowledge on the characteristics of normal and abnormal stem cells by interconnecting biological and computational expertise.
Alienation are working with EuroSyStem to build an online multi-lingual contact directory to be hosted in Cambridge.
Scottish Engineering
Scottish Engineering is the major support and lobbying organisation for the manufacturing engineering industry in Scotland. They have been in existence since 1865, looking after the affairs of the manufacturing engineering industry.
After a 4 way pitch Alienation Digital won the contract to design and develop the new Scottish Engineering web site that will be controlled by the Joomla content management system.
South West Scotland Community Justice Authority
Following on from our win with the Glasgow Community Justice Authority, Alienation have added another CJA to our roster. The SWSCJA aims to reduce re offending, improve the management of offenders and create safer communities by delivering the National Strategy for the Management of Offenders in the south west Scotland area.
Alienation will be designing and developing the new SWSCJA website for launch in September '08.
