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

全球竞争的出现将创造力和创新带到了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有很强的传统，但最新的研究机构强调了与跨学科研究和合作相关的“开放创新”不那么有形的方面。“创意投资：艺术与人文研究和创新经济”工作坊将探索创新的这些隐藏的方面，目的是识别、评估和促进学院内外的创新艺术和人文实践。为期三天的系列研讨会将集中讨论以下主题：1)创新与风险：与创新过程有关的评估和风险的概念；2)团队中的创造力与创新：协作团队在知识生产、群体心理和知识产权方面的作用；3)学科创新与制度变革：跨学科、创新与制度变革之间的关系。讲习班将促进艺术、人文和社会科学领域的学术研究人员、创意产业从业人员和政策制定者和顾问之间的对话，以探讨和提高对艺术和人文研究中创新实践及其更广泛适用性的问题的认识。预期的结果是制定政策和概念框架，以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报告、论文和专题介绍(包括这些的播客)传播，并可在CRASSH网站上查阅。我们会准备一篇大量经同行评议的文章，探讨在研究和更广泛的创意经济中评估创意成果的模式和方法，以供发表。该中心致力于促进对人文学科性质的研究和思考，以及促进跨学科和与大学以外公众的更多互动。这些研讨会与新成立的学科创新中心和CRASSH在08-10年度的项目：“文化传播、学科变革和未来大学”相辅相成。CRASSH在主办和组织跨学科研讨会方面经验丰富，并于2007年1月组织了由AHRC方法网络资助的“价值证据：艺术和人文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.
