Today Dr Claire McCamley and I have had meetings to try and flesh out some research ideas. Firstly with colleagues from Events Management and Logistics. The idea is to conduct research with stakeholders in the upcoming Tour De France stage being held in the West Yorkshire area (Comes through Huddersfield on Sunday 6th). Their impressions after the event might hold some interesting perspectives and insights into management of these events, place marketing linked to, and their legacy.
Afterward we had a meeting with Dr Steve Swindells and Dr Anna Powell who are organising a bid for an arts esxhibition/events led campaign aiming to put Huddersfield town more firmly on the cultural map. It was good to be invited to contribute, if we can, to this currently quite open ended funding bid. A marketing perspective might be of use in terms of sustainable place branding.
So these are just some examples of the things GAMBI members get up to during the week. If anyone has any ideas/interests/contacts that might contribute to these areas, it would be good to hear from you. Both projects are early stage and open to contributors/collaborators. If nothing else, enjoy some good food, perhaps some wine, and pay hommage to the sweating cyclists passing by this weekend.
