Third research workshop: A third space for creative arts & creative industries? The role of Higher education in creative platforms, spaces and networks
Birmingham City University - 6th November 2013
The workshop will focus on the collaborations, networks and spaces shared by creative industries (including creative practitioners, artists and freelancers) and higher education. It will look at both formal arrangements and practices (such as residencies, workspaces and teaching) as well as informal networks and shared activities. It will consider issues of sustainability and ask how benefits are equally shared by the partners involved. It will also examine the role played by institutions, geographies and policy frameworks that influence the development of these shared initiatives.
