Making the case for
higher education in the creative economy:
building partnerships with creative businesses
7 December 2010,
Woburn House Conference Centre, London
In light of the comprehensive spending review on 20 October 2010,
and following the changes to the regional development funding structures, we
will need to assess what this will this mean for collaboration between higher
education and the creative industries.
A conference on 7 December in central London will launch a report
on the role of UK universities in supporting the creative industries,
particularly during the current economic downturn. The report will make a
number of key recommendations to Government regarding their future thinking
around supporting the creative industries through higher education
partnerships.
Confirmed speakers include:
The day will showcase some of the experiences of universities in
making their case to the creative industries for increased collaboration.
Delegates will also be able to hear the views of key creative business
representatives on the future for higher education collaboration.
Finally, the European Commission will update delegates on their
current Green Paper consultation on unlocking the potential of the creative and
cultural industries in Europe, and what this means for UK universities.
Delegates will also be able to attend a workshop on the following
five themes:
·
Graduate employability and
entrepreneurship
·
Regional creative hubs
·
Research and innovation
·
The multidisciplinary approach
·
Workforce development
