DigiBIC ( http://www.digibic.eu ) is a 30 month project focused on the deployment of technologies and tools from European funded applied research projects in cultural heritage, digital libraries and preservation to the wider Digital and Creative Industry (CI) sector and in particular to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

We are currently collecting information about relevant technologies and latest research results for deployment to SMEs and would be happy to receive your feedback.

Please feel free to distribute this questionnaire among current or previous partners of yours to explore more technologies.

Type of research we look for:

· Address latest research topics/technology trends which are most relevant to creative industry companies, ideally sth like: Virtualisation and fabric computing; Social networks and social software; Cloud computing and cloud/Web platforms; Web mashups; User Interface; Ubiquitous computing; Contextual computing; Augmented reality; Semantics

· be especially relevant to the following CI sectors: Software; Publishing; Film & Video; Design, Cultural Heritage

· address new CI manufacturing or user interaction processes

Deadlines: Ideally we would like to receive your feedback until 21.11.2011


Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
