Community-powered transformations: Digital transformations in the creative relationships between cultural and media organisations and their users

该网络将探索文化和媒体组织及其用户社区之间创造性关系的数字化转型。数字化转型意味着文化和媒体组织现在发现自己处于一个新的环境中，参与者社区互动，创造，策划，组织和支持文化体验。该研究网络汇集了认为创意组织需要探索数字化转型所创造的新关系、新机遇和新研究问题的参与者。该网络将通过与世界领先的合作伙伴的网络，围绕四个主题探索和调查这种模式的机遇、可供性和风险：生产和创意;商业模式、权利和所有权;设计;该提案汇集了威斯敏斯特大学的传播与媒体研究所（CAMRI）和伦敦大学学院数字人文中心，以及英国在数字参与方面的一些领先机构：泰特美术馆、大英图书馆和MuseumNext。该项目将与以不同方式处理数字化转型的各种大小公司和组织进行接触，包括大赦国际、开放权利组织、Mixcloud、节日制作、儿童媒体基金会等。该项目将交流知识，并探讨以下方面的好处和局限性：网络成员通过数字服务与感兴趣的用户社区进行互动的各种项目，并将考虑如何支持和维持这些数字社群活动。它还将建立一系列研究问题，这些问题应在数字转型计划的下一阶段进行探索。

This network will explore digital transformations in the creative relationships between cultural and media organisations, and their communities of users. Digital transformations mean that cultural and media organisations now find themselves in a new environment in which communities of participants interact to create, curate, organise and support cultural experiences. This research network draws together participants who believe that creative organisations need to explore the new relationships, new opportunities and new research questions created by digital transformations.The network will explore and investigate the opportunities, affordances and risks of this model through a network with world-leading partners, based around four themes: Production and creativity; Business models, rights and ownership; Design; and Learning.The proposal brings together the Communications and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) at the University of Westminster, and the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities, with some of the UK's leading institutions in digital engagement: Tate, The British Library, and MuseumNext. It will engage with a broad array of companies and organisations, large and small, who are dealing with digital transformations in different ways, including Amnesty International, the Open Rights Group, Mixcloud, Festival Productions, the Children's Media Foundation, and others.The project will exchange knowledge about, and explore the benefits and limitations of, the various projects run by network members to engage with a community of interested users via digital services, and will consider how these digital community activities can be supported and sustained. It will also establish a set of research questions which should be explored in the next phase of the Digital Transformations programme.
