QUB MediaLab

The team had the privilege of getting a sneak peak of the new MediaLab at Queen’s University Belfast!

This months Future Tuesdays event was hosted by the brilliant team at the MediaLab located at 15 University Square Mews.

The session included a great insight into the fabulous work that goes on here at the MediaLab. The team talked us through the technology used, upcoming collaborations, new projects and how you can get involved.

We really enjoyed getting out of the office and meeting the team at MediaLab, the facilities are extremely impressive and the turnout for this event was great!

If you are interested in working within the MediaLab be sure to get in touch and we can point you in the right direction!

Once again thanks to Professor Michael Alcorn, Donal Phillips and the rest of the team for a great Future Tuesdays event!
