Organizational historyEstablished by the University of Exeter in 1998, following a £3m bid to the ADAPT Programme of the European Union, the Observatory was established initially as a partnership between the University of Exeter, the Open University, the BBC,[1] TUC, IBM, NETg and FT Management.[2] The early focus of the Observatory centered around the field of ICT and a collaboration with the University.[3] ProgrammesAs part of its commitment to develop regional expertise, the Observatory has established the Skills and Learning Intelligence Module of the Regional Observatory, on behalf of partners in the region. Through this, intelligence and statistics on the labour and skills markets are provided to stakeholders in the South West.[4] Because of its presence within the University the Observatory staff are able to work with other parts of the University and work closely with the similar Research Centres often developing joint projects.[5] Core activitiesThe aim of the Marchmont Observatory is to improve evidence-based practice in the field of lifelong learning. This occurs through:
