The third research workshop of our seminar series will take place in Birmingham, thanks to our host Birmingham City University on the 6th November 2013. The theme is: A third space for creative arts & creative industries? The role of Higher education in creative platforms, spaces and networks 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.
