How does it work?
Essentially we look to provide a home, framework and testing ground for new ideas on a project-by-project basis.
Sometimes we will provide a small budget to get things off the ground, or it might be more complex and involve knowledge transfer.
Currently SAM Labs is an internal programme but we will be looking to open it out to the public within the coming year.
Why a lab?
It's a context in which to experiment and test new ideas and projects.
In the early stages of a project, it is often impossible to know what the true possibilities of the project may be. Accidental or unforeseen events may change the direction of a project and lead to a complete overhaul of plans.
SAM Labs aims to bring these chance findings to the fore, providing a relatively low-cost testing ground for ideas that could one day grow to be core activities of the organisation.
The aims of SAM Labs are to nourish new ideas and explore the creative, economic and social potential
