Creative Fuse North East 2

创意融合东北2.0 （CFNE 2.0）建立在纽卡斯尔大学、达勒姆大学、诺森比亚大学、桑德兰大学和提赛德大学之间现有的合作伙伴关系的基础上，支持英格兰东北部地区创意数字信息技术（CDIT）产业的研究主导型增长。CFNE 2.0将支持CDIT企业、自由职业者、文化组织和大学研究人员进行创新和思想发展，但从研究的角度来看，该项目将建立在第一阶段的绘图和开发工作的基础上，开展新的研究，寻求了解创造力和跨学科融合的条件。该项目将超越创造性融合是否在该地区发生或创造了多少价值的研究问题，以了解它为什么以及如何在某些项目和环境中发生，而为什么在其他情况下不会发生。这项研究将在经济和政治发生重大变化和不确定的时期为东北地区的创意部门提供支持。CFNE 2.0还旨在产生关于如何在其他外围地区实施有意义和有效的实践的见解，尽管存在挑战，但仍有成功的案例。

Creative Fuse North East 2.0 (CFNE 2.0) builds on the existing partnership between Newcastle University, Durham University, Northumbria University, University of Sunderland and Teesside University, supporting research-led growth in the Creative-Digital-IT (CDIT) industries of the North East England region. CFNE 2.0 will support CDIT businesses and freelancers, cultural organisations and university researchers to produce innovation and idea development, but from a research viewpoint the project will build on the mapping and development work of the first phase to conduct new research seeking to understand the conditions for creativity and interdisciplinary fusion. The project will go beyond research questions of whether creative fusion is occurring in the region or how much value is created, to understand why and how does it occur in certain projects and settings and why not in other cases? The research will support the creative sector in the NE during a period of significant economic and political change and uncertainty. CFNE 2.0 also aims to generate insights as to how meaningful and effective practice can be enacted in other peripheries with cases of success in spite of challenges.
