This time last month we were busy organising the final touches to Mining Heritage Unearthed; we have now had time to reflect on what a fantastic event it was.  The greatest contributory factor to the success of this event was the knowledge and diversity of both the speakers and all the delegates at the event, thank you to all who participated and attended. The event feedback we have received so far has been very positive and the event has led to some organisations signing up to CISNET to benefit from all of our other services. If you have not yet completed a feedback form or an CISNET application form, please click the above links and email a saved copy back to e.harrocks@tsd.ac.uk.

"Europe’s creative and cultural industries are global leaders and competitive exporters in a wide range of fields. They are the heart of creating Europe’s culture and identity, and central to promoting Europe’s identity around the world. This report presents regionalised data and trends for the 6.4 million persons employed in these industries in 30 European countries. It is hoped that the indicators presented in this report can help stimulate debate and policy supportive of a group of activities and industries that off er a huge potential to contribute to the transformation of European society, responding to major social, demographical and environmental challenges and leading to a more sustainable and smarter economy within the EU 2020 Strategy."

The full speakers list and event schedule for Mining Heritage Unearthed has been revealed today.  The action packed day lists more than 10 speakers from right across the creative and cultural spectrum. Please click here for a full event guide. The event is launched by a series of talks that will each uncover an aspect of Wales' mining heritage, including what heritage assets are available, new technology and community developments,  and reflections on how to support sustained community involvement. The event will then extend to current products available to deliver our heritage to a wider audience. This time speakers will herald from local SMEs and will include both mobile and static interpretation solutions. Based on the research carried out by CISNET one of the biggest barriers to developing new projects has been a lack of suitable funding and learning of new opportunities.  The afternoon session of Mining Heritage Unearthed turns this around and includes sessions from open and suitable funding sources plus information on two new projects set to commence this year! Mining Heritage Unearthed offers a lot to take on board, especially when so many of the confirmed attendees also have their own ideas to share.  To bring the event to a close a special innovation session will be held that will help all attending bring their ideas together. There are a still some spaces available for this free of charge event, and anyone interested in attending are urged to contact the Welsh CISNET project officer without delay at e.harrocks@tsd.ac.uk Please click here for a full event guide.
