2. SYNC is a new two-year programme for the cultural sector
in Scotland – all about making, prototyping and innovation
in the space where culture, technology and design meet
SYNC is a core element of Creative Scotland’s Cultural
Economy strategy and consists of the landmark Culture
Hack Scotland event, a Geeks-in-Residence programme
and SyncTank the future-facing online magazine.
3. Culture Hack Scotland is a
fast-paced and highly creative
event which challenges
designers and technologists to
make innovative new culture-
related projects in just 24 hours.
The inaugural CHS in Spring
2011 was considered the most
productive event of its type ever
held. The 2012 and 2013 events
will build on this remarkable
momentum and will be the
annual showpiece celebration of
culture vs digital.
4. Being part of Culture Hack Scotland helped us define our approach
to innovation and has given us access to a like-minded and
influential community of culture, design and digital professionals

Residence programme five
Scottish cultural organisations

organisations to work with
digital & design talent in a way
that in genuinely valuable and
genuinely collaborative.
