We design stuff that helps researchers bring their discoveries to light, and we create online learning spaces for lecturers and students. We love working with people who are ahead of the game and making their ideas come alive – it means that together we can push technology forward and then share those tools with the rest of the world.
Essentially we are an innovation unit focused on learning and research technologies here at the University of Cambridge. But what does innovation actually mean? Well here at CARET we think it goes something like this…
Innovation is the process of venturing into the unknown, walking down paths untrod by conventional minds. There are no assurances of success, until discoveries are made how can we know what will work and what will fail? In a world where avoiding risk becomes an obstacle to innovation it is important to remember that sometimes the greatest risk is to take no risk at all.
At CARET we endeavour to establish a creative space where talented people can bring their ideas into being and realise the potential of their discoveries. At all stages of development we use our expertise to work out how best to take things forward, understanding that while some of our projects will become widely used successful products, others may remain thriving in their own little niches.
