Mike Stilgoe now represents Centroid on the SEMN advisory group for the Digital Content Knowledge Network (DCKN) along with a distinguished line up of industry professionals and Universities. These include Reading, Guildford and Southampton. The object of the group is to explore avenues through which past and current university research programs can materialise and where future practical products and innovations can be brought to market to serve the ever changing media industry. Stilgoe's view on the group is based around the need for more innovative technology to be exposed to a waiting world market and the revitalisation of the UK as a leader in providing content production technology and solutions.
