Creative Investment: Arts & Humanities Research and the 'Innovation Economy'

全球竞争的出现使创造力和创新成为经济关注和学术研究的前沿。虽然将创新与产品和技术联系在一起的传统很强，但最近的研究机构强调了与跨学科研究和合作有关的“开放式创新”的一些不太有形的方面。‘创意投资：艺术与人文研究和“创新经济”研讨会将探索创新的这些隐藏方面，旨在识别，评估和促进学院内外的创新艺术和人文实践。为期一天的三个系列研讨会将集中讨论以下主题：1）创新与风险：关于创新过程的评估和风险的概念;2）群体中的创造力和创新：协作群体在知识生产，群体心理学和知识产权方面的作用;3）学科创新和制度变革：跨学科，创新和制度变革之间的关系。研讨会将促进艺术、人文和社会科学领域的学术研究人员、创意产业从业人员以及政策制定者和顾问之间的对话，以探索和提高对艺术和人文研究创新实践及其更广泛适用性问题的认识。预期成果是制定政策和概念框架，确定和优化艺术和人文学科对创新经济的贡献。讲习班的成果将通过CRASSH网站提供的报告、论文和介绍（包括播客）加以传播。一个实质性的同行评审的文章检查的模式和方法的评估的创造性努力在研究和更广泛的创意经济将准备出版。CRASSH是一个理想的主机系列研讨会。该中心致力于促进研究和反思人文学科的性质和跨学科的更大的互动，并与大学以外的公众。研讨会与新落成的学科创新中心和CRASSH的08-10项目：“文化传播，学科变革和未来大学”相结合。CRASSH在主办和组织跨学科讲习班方面经验丰富，并于2007年1月组织了澳大利亚人权委员会方法网络资助的“价值证据：艺术和人文科学中的信息和通信技术”。

The emergence of global competition has brought creativity and innovation to the forefront of both economic attention and academic research. While there is a strong tradition of associating innovation with products and technologies, the most recent body of research has emphasized less tangible aspects of 'open innovation' linked to interdisciplinary research and collaboration. 'Creative Investment: Arts & Humanities Research and the 'Innovation Economy'' workshops will explore these hidden aspects of innovation with the aim of identifying, evaluating and facilitating innovative Arts and Humanities practice both within and beyond the academy. A series of three one-day workshops will focus on the following themes:1) Innovation and Risk: the notion of evaluation and risk with respect to innovative processes;2) Creativity and Innovation in Groups: the role of collaborative groups in relation to knowledge production, group psychology, and intellectual property;3) Disciplinary Innovation and Institutional Change: the relation between interdisciplinarity, innovation, and institutional transformation. The Workshops will stimulate dialogue between academic researchers in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, practitioners from creative industries and policy makers and advisers in order to explore and advance awareness of the issues surrounding innovative practice in Arts and Humanities research and its wider applicability. The intended outcome is the development of policies and conceptual frameworks that identify and optimize the contribution of Arts and Humanities to the innovation economy. Workshop outputs will be disseminated through reports, papers and presentations (including podcasts of these) made available through the CRASSH web site. A substantial peer reviewed article examining the modes and methods of evaluation of creative endeavour in both research and the wider creative economy will be prepared for publication.CRASSH is an ideal host for the seminar series. The Centre is committed to fostering research and reflection upon the nature of the humanities and greater interaction across disciplines and with publics beyond the university. The workshops intercalate with a newly inaugurated Centre for Disciplinary Innovation and CRASSH's project for 08-10: 'Cultural Transmission, Disciplinary Change, and the Future University'. CRASSH is experienced at hosting and organizing interdisciplinary workshops and organized the AHRC Methods Network funded 'Evidence of Value: ICT in the Arts and Humanities ' in January 2007.
