A unique opportunity to generate and develop ideas for Channel 4’s 4iP scheme.

Crossover is a unique series of 'innovation labs' designed to explore and invent new media forms. Each lab fosters new collaborations between talented and experienced professionals across different creative industries, sparking ideas for innovative media content and services on new, digital platforms.

Crossover 4IP is a three-day creative incubator for people based in the North East. It will be devoted to developing projects for new forms of participatory, public service media which could be supported by 4iP. The lab will bring together people from a range of disciplines to invent ideas for content and services for public service media on new platforms; projects which have real public value, will have significant impact and are sustainable.

Over the three days, participants will work with a team of expert mentors in a series of activities designed to develop conceptual prototypes for groundbreaking interactive projects. At the end of the three day lab, a number of projects will be selected for further development and seed funding and given the opportunity to pitch for further investment at the 4iP launch in the North East on March 25th.
