About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

Launching this September, The Long + Short is a digital magazine available in tablet, mobile and web versions.

Each season of The Long + Short will follow a theme. Season 1 will be arranged around ‘Re’ – the notion that innovation can be a ‘Re’ activity: remixing existing ideas and styles; reusing something old in a different context; creativity through reinterpretation; reinventing traditional organisations; re-innovation.

The magazine covers innovation in the broadest sense of the word – where new ideas are coming from, how they grow, expand and take hold in our lives.

At the event we gave a flavour of The Long + Short and the ‘Re’ season itself, with a short discussion between some of the writers and contributors to the magazine.
