A Media Industries Partnership has been in place for some time and has already had<br />
significant success in attracting substantial ERDF funding. Discussions are ongoing about<br />
the benefits of constituting the partnership and on the optimum mechanisms for<br />
planning, distribution of funding and delivery. At the same time, plans are being<br />
advanced for the creation of a more consolidated production structure for the region<br />
under the rubric Studio of the North.<br />
Principal partners are YMPA, Yorkshire Screen Commission, Yorkshire Media Training<br />
Consortium, Yorkshire Arts Board and the Culture Company. The partnership looks to see<br />
a step increase in activity across the sector and particularly looks to maximise<br />
opportunities from the new EU Objective 1, 2 and 3 programmes.<br />
The <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL has been advised that a formal approach for assistance is about<br />
to be made.<br />
