The Creative Tech Network | Vision

Digital Futures is a highly interdisciplinary network which operates across the whole range of the University’s digital research.The aim of Digital Futures is to present a coherent overview of our digital research activity to external stakeholders and bring together our research communities to explore new research areas and address strategic opportunities.We group our activity around themes that encapsulate our broad research capabilities and the challenges to which these can be applied. These themes do not operate as self-contained entities; however, there is considerable synergy and overlap between them, and many of our academics are involved in a number of capability and challenge themes.

Digital Futures

The Creative Tech Network will focus on bringing together a vibrant community of digital and creative professionals in Greater Manchester.
