A report by VNU says the Eden Project has put Web 2.0 and Social Media communications tools at the heart of a £50m funding submission to the the Big Lottery Fund's Living Landmarks programme.

The Eden Project is launching a web site next month to support its bid to create The Edge, a centre that will explore living with climate change.

The aim is for the web site to have rich media and provide interactivity with members of the public and interested groups.

The Eden Projects head of IT, Jon Curry was quoted in the VNU article as saying “It is all about using technology to get your message across to the public and capturing their interest.”
