Delegate interview: Mike Jackson, University of Edinburgh

It’s the end of the day and most people are keen to get away, but I manage to find someone who has time to chat about their experiences today: self-confessed ‘local boy’ Mike Jackson from EPCC at the University of Edinburgh.

Mike was here today to give a demonstration of LAQUAT, an engaged funded project to do with linking epigraphic datasets with the arts and humanities. “The demonstration went very well,” says Jackson. “We had some feedback from members who attended, and that was positive. I’ll be taking back the feedback we received on how we can improve our demonstration and presentation in future for various sorts of audiences who are not all technically minded like we are.”

Jackson thought the morning’s keynotes were particularly interesting, but he didn’t have the chance to attend any of the sessions or talks: “I admit I was preparing my demonstration!” he says, laughing.
