ESRC Business Engagement Scheme, Creative Industries - deadline 31 March 2008
BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES – Creative Industries
Central Government initiatives have been developed to position the UK as an economy able to deliver unique value in global business markets. In line with these initiatives the ESRC has developed its Business Engagement Strategy. The Creative Industries are a success story within the UK economy, and have been identified by the ESRC as a key sector to help develop. How do we sustain our position as a creative nation? How do funders, universities and creative entrepreneurs map the way forward, or do we trust the existing infrastructure to inspire innovation?
This call focuses on business engagement and provides opportunities for social science researchers to engage with the creative and cultural industries, to encourage knowledge transfer and exchange to assist business sustainability. The ESRC encourages engagement with business through a tailored package of new and additional activity. Funding of up to £100k per successful application is available for a combination of activities, ideally with co-funding partners.
The call aims to:
• promote the transfer and exchange of knowledge between social science researchers and the creative industries and staff within them
• respond to the knowledge needs of business through a range of knowledge exchange mechanisms
• expand networks for business sectors into academia and vice-versa
• provide business sectors with research-informed evidence to develop and review operational and management practices
• enable all parties, including the ESRC, to develop their understanding of the interaction between research and the development of operational and management practices within business sectors
• contribute to the delivery of the Government’s Science and Innovation Investment Framework.
