The idea ...
During the last three years, we have worked on many project and events related to the creative industries and the creative economy in UK. Thanks to the support of th Regional Studies Association we have also managed an exciting Research Network on Creative Industries, and the Regions: Relationship between places, local and regional policies and creative production. The network has addressed trends and issues around the development of the creative and cultural industries at the regional level in UK, fostering a multi-disciplinary debate among researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the field. The activities of the network - still supported by the Regional Studies Association - have now taken on a new European dimension and have migrated to www.creative-regions.eu. Here you will find more news on the network activities, events and publications.
The network - from which the new Summer School venture has orginated - has been initiated and promoted by Dr Roberta Comunian from the Department for Culture, Media and Creative Industries at King's College London , Dr Caroline Chapain from the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies of the University of Birmingham and Nick Clifton from the Cardiff School of Management of the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff.
