** New Local Knowledge service launched **

A new ‘e-publishing’ service will be launched this Spring for our Local Knowledge users. As well as providing access to the full range of Local Knowledge data and content, subscribers will also have the facility to produce summary reports on their local area on-line. Reports will initially be available at district level and thereafter for more spatial levels, covering a range of themes. Contact Laura Edwards for more information.


Developed by the Local Futures Group, Local Knowledge is a powerful web-based service for local strategies and marketing. Incorporating the latest thinking on competitiveness and sustainable development, it provides researchers and policy-makers with access to an unrivalled decision support tool that is interactive and easy to use.
 
Local Knowledge is available in different formats:
 
Local Knowledge online
Our basic web-based service is available on annual subscription, for use across an organisation. It provides an easy-to-use and shared evidence base, for a range of research and policy applications.
 
Private Space
This product is an add-on to the standard Local Knowledge package; in addition to the full range of services provided, Private Space subscribers will have the facility to include their own locally sourced data within the Local Knowledge web platform.
 
SMART Observatories
Our SMART Observatories provide a bespoke solution to local information management. Built on our Local Knowledge web platform they provide a shared evidence base for a specific area for use by a range of local partner organisations.
