Developing knowledge exchange in the live music sector

拟议项目的目的是开发活动，以最大限度地发挥一个为期三年的研究项目对英国现场音乐推广历史的影响。在这个项目的过程中，我们与现场音乐部门的发起人和其他参与者进行了多次对话，这使我们能够更清楚地思考学术研究成果对他们日常实践的重要性。因此，我们与发起人的讨论特别表明，需要建立一个可访问的可靠研究数据档案，以便每一项新的政策倡议，无论是在地方还是国家一级，都不必开始就对该领域进行“绘图”，重新收集以前收集过多次的数据;对最佳研究实践的共识理解，借鉴英国音乐界各种学术和其他研究的全面批判性知识;- 音乐业务培训计划，提供适当的宣传业务所需技能的教学; -更好地了解现场音乐业务的公众意识，考虑到这些需求，这个后续项目将集中在各种知识交流过程：开发一个基于在线研究的现场音乐问题评论和讨论论坛;提供研究报告，作为可访问的在线数据库的基础;组织研究小组、讲习班和其他活动;编写培训材料。总的来说，后续项目不仅旨在提高我们自己的研究成果传播的效率和有效性，而且还旨在探索如何将学术研究用作提高公众对现场音乐行业的了解的机制，并为该行业内不同利益集团之间的沟通提供机制。

The purpose of the proposed project is to develop activities to maximise the impact of a three year research project on the history of live music promotion in Britain. In the course of that project we had many conversations with promoters and other participants in the live music sector which enabled us to think more clearly about the importance of academic research findings for their everyday practice. In particular our discussions with promoters thus suggested the need for -an accessible archive of reliable research data so that each new policy initiative, whether at local or national level, doesn't have to begin with a 'mapping' of the field, the re-gathering of data that has been gathered many times before; -a consensual understanding of best research practice, drawing on comprehensive critical knowledge of the various academic and other research studies of the UK's music sector; - music business training programmes providing properly informed teaching of the skills required in the promotional business; -better public understanding of the live music business.With these needs in mind this follow-on project will focus on a variety of knowledge exchange processes: the development of an on-line research based commentary on and forum for the discussion on live music issues; the provision of research reports as the basis of an accessible online data base; the organisation of research panels, workshops and other events; the development of training material. In general terms the follow-on project is designed not just to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the dissemination of our own research findings but also to explore the ways in which academic research can be used as a mechanism for improving the public understanding of the live music sector and provide mechanisms for communication between different interest groups within that sector.
