The Institute for Capitalising on Creativity has been awarded an AHRC
grant for a series of workshops on the Nature of Creativity and the
Management and Organisation of Creative Industries. A series of five one
day workshops will explore the interplay of discipline and creativity that
characterise the creative industries.
Participants are invited from faculty and PhDs from all Higher Education
Institutions with an interest in the creative industries, across all
spheres, including architecture, advertising, arts and cultural
industries, design, crafts, film, computer games, multimedia, music, new
media, publishing, radio and television. The workshops are designed to
explore practical, conceptual and theoretical issues in relation to these
themes, bringing together people working in a number of different
disciplinary areas in order to examine areas of mutual interest and
potential overlap. The objective of these workshops is to help build a
critical mass of researchers in Scotland who have an interest in the
creative industries and we welcome world-wide participation.
