Scope
The New Builders Initiative is a Members-only community of practice for EBU Members planning or constructing new broadcast and production facilities. New facilities represent major long-term investments, built to specifications significantly different from those that shaped the buildings they replace. Planners must account for current requirements and tomorrow's production realities, and prepare for a fast pace of change. This community is jointly run by EBU Technology & Innovation and the EBU Academy, and it provides a private forum for Members to exchange ideas, learnings, and best practice to help future-proof these projects.
Objectives
We take a multilateral approach, drawing on expertise from across the EBU. We anticipate the impact of increasingly intelligent tools and the growing dematerialisation of facilities, and we examine how Member workplaces are organised and how change processes are managed. Our goal is to help Members planning new facilities learn from each other's experience — reducing risk, avoiding duplication of effort, and building for production realities that are still emerging.
