Calling all interactive media professionals

21 July 2011 CIIC news National

Expressions of Interest are now being sought from Interactive Media companies / professionals to participate in the Interactive Skills Integration Scheme (ISIS) Pilot Projects being undertaken in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales in 2011.

Australia is recognised internationally for its games development talent, with our developers releasing some of the world’s leading multi player games and mobile apps. So how can we integrate digital creative talent into non-entertainment industries to enhance Australian innovation and competitiveness?

ISIS is a two-year workforce innovation project, supported by the Australian and the Victorian Governments, which aims to research, model and showcase strategies for integrating games and interactive media expertise in ‘non-games’ industries’.

Expressions of Interest are now being sought from interactive media companies and professionals to participate in the ISIS Pilot Projects in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales in 2011-12. The deadline is 2 September, 2011.

Interactive media professionals can benefit from receiving a minimum of $75,000 cash for their time, expertise and involvement; engagement with 'non games' industry sectors; professional development; IP development; and, access to expert business advisors, mentors and an Innovation Integration Toolkit.

The project is led by: the Creative Industries Innovation Centre (CIIC), the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) and QUT Creative Enterprise Australia (CEA).
