In association with The Hammermen of Edinburgh at

In the summer of 2015, we successfully
gained a grant to produce a commercial
report on the BioCPV project. The
management revolved around 4 main
areas
Fair & unbiased
judgment
Political
responsibility
The information conveyed has a
direct relevance to the UK and
Indian government funding
bodies involved
Social
responsibility
Commercial
responsibility
With a commercial project
comes the responsibility of
being informative and
captivating to the audience
As well as the responsibility of running the
project, there was also a professional
responsibility in the creative process to
convey information in the right manner
Budget
The awarded budget had
to cover everything from
logistics to editing and
production
Logistics
Interviews and site visits
were planned in advance
and coordinated with the
contacts at each institute
Training
Mainly involved
film production
training
Research
It is important to
convey information
in an unbiased way
and always peer
reviewed
The social aspect of the project is of
great importance and the
documentary aims to highlight the
social responsibility towards the
end users and point out the
inequalities of access to
energy
The research developed at
each university over the
course of the project in their
respective areas was analysed
to gain further understanding
of the technologies

After having gained an in depth insight to
the BioCPV project and technologies, here
are our main observations
International collaborations are
extremely beneficial for
technological developments
Main challenges in multi
institutional projects are the
organisational structure and
communication strategies
The project can be developed
further by optimising costs
and benefits
Excellent example of
innovation aimed at
decreasing social divide and
working with communities
