BBC Innovation Labs Launch Day - Cardiff

This year we're running four Labs - Scotland, North East England, North West England and Wales & West Midlands.

We're aiming to increase the geographical scope of the Labs, but to keep the number of Labs small, so that we make sure they're high-quality events that provide a good opportunity for BBC interactive commissioners and regional indies to meet and discuss ideas together.

The launch days will give you an opportunity to learn more about the labs and to get the latest thinking and information on the BBC's Future Media & Technology strategy and technical infrastructure, as well as details about the Vision Multi-platform strategy.

They will be the best place to get detailed information about this years briefs, and to meet BBC staff who can answer your questions about the kind of projects we're looking for this year. Many things have changed since last year - not least the way that we commission projects and what we'll be looking for in the applications.

The day will run from 11am until 4pm, and we'll make sure you're well fed whilst you're there; and of course have a little fun.

------------------------------

Byddwn yn rhedeg pedair Lab eleni – Yr Alban, Gogledd Ddwyrain Lloegr, Gogledd Orllewin Lloegr a Chymru a Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr.

Ein nod yw cynyddu sgôp daearyddol y Labs, ond gan gadw’ nifer yn fach, er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn ddigwyddiadau o ansawdd uchel sy’n rhoi cyfle da i gomisiynwyr rhyngweithiol y BBC gwrdd â chwmnïau annibynnol rhanbarthol a thrafod syniadau gyda nhw.

Bydd y diwrnodiau lansio’n gyfle i chi ddysgu mwy am y Labs a dysgu am feddylfryd a gwybodaeth ddiweddaraf strategaeth a seilwaith technegol Future Media & Technology y BBC, yn ogystal â manylion am strategaeth aml lwyfan BBC Vision.

Dyma fydd y lle gorau i gael gwybodaeth fanwl am y briff comisiynu eleni, ac i gwrdd â staff y BBC all ateb eich cwestiynau yngl?n â’r math o brosiectau yr ydym yn chwilio amdanynt eleni. Mae sawl peth wedi newid ers y llynedd – yn arbennig y dull o gomisiynu prosiectau a beth fyddwn yn edrych amdano yn y ceisiadau.

Bydd y diwrnod yn cychwyn am 11ac yn gorffen am 4pm, a byddwn yn sicrhau eich bod yn cael eich bwydo ac, wrth gwrs, yn cael rhywfaint o hwyl!

BBC Innovation Labs

The Innovation Labs are a series of creative workshops for interdisciplinary teams of professional creative technologists, application designers, software developers and interactive media designers, working across both Future Media & Vision platforms. We are inviting independent companies from across England, Scotland and Wales to pitch ideas in response to a briefs set by New Media & Vision commissioners across the BBC. Up to 10 projects in each of four regions - Scotland, North East England, North West England, and Wales & West Midlands - will then be selected to attend a 5-day long Lab. During the Lab, they will work with BBC commissioners and other mentors to develop the idea and prepare a final pitch. On the last day of the Lab, the ideas are pitched to the BBC commissioners for further development funding. The funding will be agreed at the lab and ranges from a 'we'd love to talk to you some more - £2.5k' all the way to 'go build it, how much will it cost us?'. You'll know exactly what you're getting at the end of each lab. Find out more at open.bbc.co.uk/labs -------------------- Mae’r Innovation Labs yn gyfres o weithdai creadigol ar gyfer timau amlddisgyblaethol o dechnolegwyr creadigol proffesiynol, cynllunwyr rhaglenni, datblygwyr meddalwedd a chynllunwyr cyfryngau rhyngweithiol, yn gweithio ar draws llwyfannau Future Media & Vision. Rydym yn gwahodd cwmnïau annibynnol o Loegr, Yr Alban a Chymru i gynnig syniadau sy’n ymateb i’r briffiau a luniwyd gan gomisiynwyr New Media & Vision ar draws y BBC. Caiff hyd at 10 prosiect ym mhob un o’r pedair rhanbarth – Yr Alban, Gogledd Ddwyrain Lloegr, Gogledd Orllewin Lloegr a Chymru a Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr – eu dewis i fynychu Lab am 5 diwrnod. Yn ystod y Lab, byddant yn gweithio gyda chomisiynwyr y BBC a mentoriaid eraill i ddatblygu’r syniad a pharatoi cynnig terfynol. Ar ddiwrnod olaf y Lab, caiff y syniadau eu cynnig i gomisiynwyr y BBC ar gyfer cyllid datblygu pellach. Cytunir ar y cyllid yn y lab ac mae’n amrywio o ‘byddai’n grêt trafod ymhellach - £2.5k’ yr holl ffordd i ‘ewch amdani, faint fydd yn ei gostio?’ Byddwch yn gwybod yn union beth fyddwch yn ei gael ar ddiwedd pob Lab.
