The SMARTlab @ UEL

The SMARTLab is a Digital Media & Creative Technology Innovation Centre running three distinct threads of activity:

• a practice-based PhD programme and research centre focusing primarily on questions surrounding artists and technologists working in artistic domains, who have long encountered difficulties in placing their work in relation to the academy: in finding appropriate ways to 'measure' artistic practice in 'research exercises', in identifying appropriately flexible and experimental forms for artistic research processes and outcomes, and in competing for academic funding;
• a suite of community outreach and digital inclusion projects linked to NGO and international government agency agendas around e-inclusion and design for ability, assistive technology, IT for women and girls, and educational inclusivity;
• a knowledge transfer centre and Gamelab/playroom that operates as a space where public sector and local communities can join forces with UEL academics, artists, technologists and game designers to make and test games and interactive tools.
