Centre for Creative Industries

The primary role of the Centre for Creative Industries is to promote research into the cultural and creative industries, with particular emphasis on their wide-ranging social and economic impact. Culture and artistic creation have undeniable social value, while the creative industries are also an important driver of economic growth.
