In June 2011, the project team held a symposium for invited guests at the University of Glasgow to disseminate and discuss the key findings of the research as the project nears completion.
Attendees included members of the academic community (from Newcastle University, University of Leeds, Lund University and the University of Glasgow), representatives of the television industry (independent producers, Channel 4) and enterprise policy makers (Department for Business, Innovation and Skills).
