CoSTAR (Convergent Screen Technologies And performance in Realtime)

CoSTAR（Convergent Screen Technologies And Performance in Realtime）旨在建立一个世界领先的国家基础设施，用于多学科应用创意R&I，利用和推动先进数字技术的融合，改变创意产业的屏幕和性能部门。其资源将促进高等院校与创意企业之间的合作，推动新产品、平台和体验的创新。目前正在进行一项工作计划，为这项重大的新投资制定商业案例，并招募了两名研究员，通过额外的证据收集和参与活动来支持这项工作，并带来额外的研究和行业专业知识。这对来自英国IRO或大学的高级学者或管理人员来说是一个令人兴奋的机会，可以帮助为该行业塑造一个变革性的新研究和创新基础设施。AHRC创意产业基础设施参与研究员将支持CoSTAR商业案例的开发，帮助将初步提案转化为明确的交付和实施方案。产出将包括举办讲习班和其他参与活动，为企划案提供直接投入，以及编写与上述活动领域有关的具体报告。研究员将与AHRC的基础设施团队和UKRI的其他高级同事密切合作，并向由AHRC首席运营官主持的CoSTAR指导小组报告。

CoSTAR (Convergent Screen Technologies And performance in Realtime) aims to establish a worldleading national infrastructure for multidisciplinary applied creative R&I, harnessing and driving the convergence of advanced digital technologies transforming the creative industries' Screen and Performance sectors and beyond. Its resources will catalyse collaboration between HEIs and creative businesses to drive innovation in new products, platforms and experiences. A programme of work is now underway to develop the business case for this major new investment and two Fellows are being recruited to support this work through additional evidence gathering and engagement activities, and to bring in additional research and sector expertise.This is an exciting opportunity for a senior academic or manager from a UK IRO or university to help shape a transformative new research and innovation infrastructure for the sector. The AHRC Infrastructure Engagement Fellows in the Creative Industries will support the development of the CoSTAR Business Case, helping to transform the initial proposal into a clear programme for delivery and implementation. Outputs will include the delivery of workshops and other engagement activities, direct input to the business case, as well as the production of specific reports related to the above areas of activity. The Fellows will work closely with AHRC's Infrastructure Team and other senior colleagues across UKRI and report to the CoSTAR Steering Group, chaired by AHRC's Chief Operating Officer.
