The aim of this Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) is to undertake a concerted activity in the training of highly skilled researchers in Digital Media technologies, including Digital Music, Multimedia and The Digital Media Creative Industries in the UK covers a diverse range of application sectors spanning arts and antiques, architecture, advertising, computer games, crafts, performing arts, TV & radio, film and video, designer fashion, software, music, design and publishing. The Creative Industries are unlike almost every other industry, with a small number of large players complemented by a very large number of small businesses, micro-businesses, and individuals. In total, over two million people are employed in creative jobs and the sector contributes 60 billion a year (7.3 per cent) to the British economy, similar in size to the financial services industry. Over the past decade, the creative sector has grown at twice the rate of the economy as a whole and is well placed for continued growth as demand for digital creative content grows with video on demand and digital broadcast. Globally, the UK enjoys a leading position across many of the sub sectors, with export of services of nearly 15bn in 2005. According to a recent OECD report the creative industry sector contributes a greater percentage to UK national GDP than any other country.This is a strong position. But there are major challenges ahead over the next decade as the sector faces a rapid change to products, services and business models brought about by digital technologies. Global competition is growing as other countries recognise the economic value of creativity, with emerging economies such as India and China increasing their investment in knowledge skills. To face this, our creative industries need an abundant pool of talented people with the right skills to meet the needs of an expanding creative sector.Vision, Information Retrieval and Interaction, designed for applications in the Creative Industries. This requires an unusually broad multidisciplinary approach combining a range of fields:* Signal and content processing, including audio, image and video information processing;* Semantic Web, social networks, mobile platforms, Digital Rights Management;* Human-computer interaction, engagement, and performance;* Applications in Music, Film & Video, Digital Libraries.As a key part of its remit, the DTC will actively seek interdisciplinary collaboration with users in the creative industry. Examples include: new methods for collaborative creativity, new techniques for exploring databases of images, or enhanced delivery of music and media on mobile phones. In addition to the technologies outlined above, students will be trained in the particular issues facing research in the Creative Industries, and experience working with Creative Industry partners as part of their training programme, drawing on Queen Mary's existing relationships with Creative Industry practitioners.The DTC will be based in the new School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. It will be led by the world-leading Centre for Digital Music (C4DM), in close collaboration with other key complementary groups at Queen Mary (see below), forming a unique combination of research expertise and knowledge of the Creative Industries.The proposal team view the DTC as a means of producing not just better PhDs, but different PhDs, with the right mix of multidisciplinary technical and personal skills to make a real impact on the rapidly evolving Creative Industries sector.

该博士培训中心（DTC）的目的是开展协调一致的活动，在数字媒体技术，包括数字音乐，多媒体和数字媒体创意产业在英国的高技能研究人员的培训涵盖了艺术和古董，建筑，广告，电脑游戏，工艺品，表演艺术，电视和广播，电影和视频，设计师时装，软件、音乐、设计和出版。创意产业与几乎所有其他行业不同，只有少数大型企业，辅以大量的小企业，微型企业和个人。总的来说，有200多万人从事创造性工作，该部门每年为英国经济贡献600亿英镑（7.3%），与金融服务业的规模相当。在过去十年中，创意部门的增长速度是整体经济增长速度的两倍，随着视频点播和数字广播对数字创意内容的需求增长，创意部门处于持续增长的有利地位。在全球范围内，英国在许多子行业中处于领先地位，2005年服务出口近150亿英镑。根据经合组织最近的一份报告，创意产业部门对英国国民生产总值的贡献比其他任何国家都要大，这是一个很好的位置。但未来十年，该行业面临着数字技术带来的产品、服务和商业模式的快速变化，面临着重大挑战。随着其他国家认识到创造力的经济价值，印度和中国等新兴经济体增加了对知识技能的投资，全球竞争正在加剧。面对这个问题，我们的创意产业需要大量具备合适技能的人才，以满足不断扩大的创意行业的需求。视觉，信息检索和交互，专为创意产业的应用而设计。这需要一个非常广泛的多学科方法，结合一系列领域：* 信号和内容处理，包括音频，图像和视频信息处理;* 语义网，社交网络，移动的平台，数字版权管理;* 人机交互，参与和性能;* 音乐、电影和视频、数字图书馆的应用。作为其职权范围的一个重要部分，DTC将积极寻求与创意产业用户的跨学科合作。示例包括：协作创造的新方法、探索图像数据库的新技术，或在移动的电话上增强的音乐和媒体传递。除了上述技术外，学生还将接受创意产业研究面临的特殊问题的培训，并与创意产业合作伙伴合作，作为培训计划的一部分，利用玛丽女王与创意产业从业者的现有关系。DTC将设在新的电子工程和计算机科学学院。它将由世界领先的数字音乐中心（C4DM）领导，与玛丽皇后学院的其他主要互补团体密切合作（见下文），形成了一个独特的研究专长和知识的创意产业相结合。提案小组认为，DTC作为一种手段，不仅产生更好的博士，但不同的博士，与多学科的技术和个人技能的正确组合，使一个真实的影响迅速发展的创意产业部门。
