Research in the Wild: Bridging the rural divide - taking interactive technology into the countryside


12 November 2010

Digital Economy Programme logoThough the Internet seems to permeate every aspect of our life, it is still largely an urban phenomenon. Both in terms of access to digital services and the development of rural digital mapping on services like Google maps, the focus has so far been on urban environments.

A new collaborative research project between The University of Nottingham’s Schools of Computer Science and Geography, and the Swansea University Computer Science Department will research these through a £365,000 Research Councils UK Digital Economy programme grant, towards a joint project worth more than £935,000.
