About Billy’s Research:

A collaborative, interdisciplinary research project within Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. In partnership with technology incubator CodeBase, the project aims to test and develop support structures for creative practitioners starting technology-led businesses. The project will explore the extent to which a digital commons (an openly distributed and communally owned online repository of resources) can support creative practitioners with sustainable peer-to-peer skills sharing.
