"Yes I investigated and found that too! An unforeseen development with Huddle pulling out, that must have happened over the Christmas break. I'll try to send it round via email"

"Hi all and happy new year There's been no new traffic on the site since my last post. Does that mean none of you could access the discussion doc in the Huddle workspace I mentioned? If there's a problem I could find a way to email it to…"

"PS I should add that for now, please share your comments on the Huddle document in this Comment space, so that other Fellows on the Ning site can see what we're up to, and hopefully get attracted into joining us!"

"Great post Andrew, and great to have you in this group. I remember Solderpad very well from the Catalyst panel discussion about it. I have now posted up a discussion document that summarises what I think the current state of play on RSA…"

Julian Thompson commented on Jonathan Jewell's group 'Manufactures'
"I'll post up a note that I've produced trying to map out all the manufacturing-related initiatives I know about. But the answer does obviously depend on how you define manufacturing."

"Hi Hilda - good to see you on Weds eve and thanks for coming. It was a meeting in the Gerard bar between me and three Fellows - Dapo Ladimeji, George Kessler, Paul Dimond and Jamie Borwick. The latter had recently convened over a hundred London…"

"Will - don't worry at all. Dates and diaries at this time of year are always mayhem. We only had a couple of folks come along but we had a good discussion. I was out of the office all day yesterday but this morning I met a group of London…"

Julian Thompson commented on Jonathan Jewell's group 'Manufactures'
"Suggested agenda/topics for discussion at tonight's get together (6pm, Gerard Bar - I'm the one in a beige jumper!). We may not get through them all but it's a worthwhile start I think. 1. Introductions and why we're interested…"

"Hi all. Sorry for slight period of radio silence. Right, dates to get together before Xmas to kickstart activity: How about any of the mornings (for a breakfast meeting at say 9) or evenings (say 6pm?) of Mon-Weds, 5-7th December? I can do any of…"

Julian Thompson commented on Jonathan Jewell's group 'Manufactures'
"Cheers Matthew. On that note, it would be great if we could use this space as a repository for sharing any informal conversations we have around manufacturing initiatives, and pooling ideas. Also, how can we recruit other Fellows to this group and a…"

"Thanks Matthew. I'm not sure if Jonathan had other things he wanted to discuss with me, but if not, and it seems worth disturbing your work, one of us will pop down to the library to fetch you up for a coffee. If not, it'll be because we…"

Profile Information

Profile information
I started as the Director of Projects here at the RSA in October 2009. Before that I worked in qualitative social, political and commercial research for a big agency. I've done research on all manner of topics, and for all sorts of organisations over the last ten years. I loved the diversity, and the topics were always fascinating, but ultimately what made it frustrating was that I couldn't decide what was done with all that work: i.e. how it was translated into action. That's why I'm excited to be at the RSA. I hope that the work we do through our projects will directly improve people's lives.

Projects & 21st century enlightenment: requesting feedback

Hello all,

I recently posted a piece on RSA Comment to explain how RSA projects connect with the notion of 21st century enlightenment. It's obviously just a first step as this purpose idea takes root more deeply in our ways of thinking and working, so I would be very interested to hear your full and frank feedback.



The piece is here, so please feel free to leave a comment underneath, or if you prefer it… Continue

Projects & Fellows

Hello all,

I've been meaning to dive into the discussions on this Ning site for some time now, and was given the nudge I needed by Tessy and Paul's visit to John Adam Street today. We had a good discussion when they met the Executive team, and then they gave an inspiring, funny and thought-provoking presentation to all the RSA staff gathered in the DSA.



We in the Projects team are keen to work more collaboratively and effectively with Fellows, in whatever ways will help us pursue… Continue

RSA Animate - The Big Erase

For those die-hard RSA Animate fans, here's a little glimpse at what we like to do after all that hard work. That's Andrew 'never knowingly-not-wearing-a-stripey-top' Park - the illustrator extraordinaire behind the RSA Animate images. For all those who've asked about prints and PDFs - they are available to download and buy on Cognitive Media's website. Cognitivemedia.co.uk

Connectome: How the brain’s wiring makes us who we are

Rising star in the field of neuroscience Sebastian Seung argues that our identity lies not in our genes but in the connections between our brain cells – and he describes the monumental task of mapping these “connectomes”, neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse.
