AmbITion Scotland is running from August 2009 - April 2011.
We are delighted to announce that Ashley Smith Hammond is the new AmbITion Scotland project manager and that Scottish Arts Council have confirmed Amb:IT:ion Scotland partners (15 organisations) and associates (40 organisations)!
Remember that all other Scottish arts organisations can stay involved, benefitting from AmbITion Scotland’s events programme, launching February 2010. Watch this space for news of that!
Amb:IT:ion partners will receive 5 days of specialist advice. In January, we’ll suggest an advisor to you who will aim to undertake a thorough audit and diagnostic with you and help identify specific measures to implement organisational change through digital development. You’ll then be assisted in drawing up a business case to submit to the Scottish Arts Council / Creative Scotland as a request for funding from the Amb:IT:ion Scotland programme towards the cost of implementing change!
We’re delighted to announce some important developments that improve what we are offering Associates. Amb:IT:ion Associates will receive 1 day of specialist advice when you’ll undertake a mini audit and diagnostic to identify specific courses of action and potential sources of funding, and since Amb:IT:ion Scotland was launched at the beginning of August, we have established a relationship with a number of Universities and Higher Education Institutions across Scotland. The purpose of this is to broker potential internships for Amb:IT:ion Associates - students on digitally focussed courses at these educational establishments.
We have also formed a significant partnership with the Scottish Centre for Enabling Technologies (SC/ET) which offers a range of free services aimed at helping Scotland’s creative companies explore and exploit the latest technologies. All Amb:IT:ion Associate organisations will benefit from an additional 10 days of information, advice, guidance and hands-on support from SC/ET as a result of this partnership.
We’re inviting all partners and associates to Amb:IT:ion Scotland launch events to find out more and to meet us and network together in either Edinburgh (28th Jan) or Glasgow (4th Feb). We will of course be webcasting to ensure that anyone else who’s interested or can’t make the trip can still be up to speed!
The AmbITion Scotland Roadshows commence in March 2010.
