点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The AHRC has identified the creative economy as an area of strategic importance, as evidenced in our 2016 - 2020 Delivery Plan. During the last spending period (2011-2015), the AHRC spent circa £100m on research related to creative economy interests.Academic research plays a vital role in informing the development of new ideas, practices and business models and in building entrepreneurial capacity in the creative economy. The AHRC is committed to playing a lead role in facilitating and brokering relationships and collaborations between the creative sector and arts and humanities research, as well as connections to the wider research base.The Creative Economy Champion will play an important role in helping the AHRC put a clear narrative around our investment in this area. A key role of the successful AHRC Creative Economy Champion will be to cultivate connections across existing relevant AHRC investments and identify potential gaps to be addressed over the next 3 years. The Champion will be expected to work closely with AHRC, RCUK and other funding bodies to support and develop partnerships and identify areas of synergy as we move into the next phase of support for Knowledge Exchange and the Creative Economy.
