The institutions currently involved in the Pilot Program came from different parts of the ecosystem and arrived at the same conclusion: that the technical fragility of Immersive works is a shared problem, and that solving it requires infrastructure that works across the whole field, not a solution optimised for one type of institution and retrofitted to the rest. Their participation is how that conclusion becomes something tangible.
What the current partner network represents, collectively, is a genuine cross-section of the Immersive world: the festivals that define what the field values, the archives responsible for what it remembers, the funds that determine what gets made, and the venues that decide what audiences actually see. That breadth is not incidental. It is the point. Infrastructure earns the name when it serves the ecosystem as a whole. The organisations below are the first to help establish that.
The Pilot Program runs throughout 2026. It is deliberately limited in scope so that the technology can be deployed, tested, and refined with partners who are genuinely invested in the outcome. If your organisation is a festival, museum, fund, archive, or service provider working with Immersive culture, and you recognise the problem that IMPRES addresses, we would like to hear from you. Early partners shape the programme. They inform how the technology is deployed and what the catalogue looks like as it grows.
