• Case studies will be available at www.spaceforsmartergovernment.uk
showing details of projects SSGP have funded in the past through our calls
• These case studies were all presented to public sector users at an event
organised by SSGP in May 2015
• As well as the expected project end paperwork, it is expected that SSGP will want to promote projects from this SBRI call in a similar manner e.g. case studies on our website and an end of projects showcase to a broad range of public sector users
• This is a great opportunity to present to a wider set of potential end users
• The case study needs to focus on the benefits, cost savings and results of the project and not necessarily the exciting science
