Call for case studies on collaborative projects in higher education
Added on 27 Mar 2009
Call for case studies on collaborative projects in HE, which directly impact on the creative sector and economy by developing employee skills and attributes. This call is part of the Looking-Out project which aims to identify Effective Engagements with Creative and Cultural Enterprise
Looking-Out is a major research project being undertaken by the Art Design Media Subject Centre (ADM-HEA) on behalf of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as part of the government’s Creative Britain strategy paper published in February 2008. The project focuses on levels of engagement between Higher Education and the Creative and Cultural sector; the research outcomes aim to inform future government policy in this area.
An initial call for case studies for the project generated very high numbers and a wide range of projects highlighting initiatives, programmes and schemes offered jointly, or with significant support, from creative and cultural businesses and organisations aimed at enhancing graduate attributes. These include placement schemes, incubation units, industry-run projects and career development schemes.
However, we also want to highlight examples of collaborative projects aimed at enhancing, updating and developing the skills and attributes of individuals within creative and cultural industry and organisations.
This second call for case studies is intended to highlight and broadcast examples of effective practice in collaboration or partnership between further and higher education art, design and media departments and creative and cultural businesses and organisations. We are especially keen to hear about schemes that deliver continuing professional development (CPD) to teachers and people already in work, joint research projects, knowledge transfer and innovative collaboration that help grow employment, raise productivity, deliver new products and services, increase footfall and so on, in creative and cultural enterprise.
A fee of £500 is payable to case study authors’ institutions.
If you or your colleagues are involved in a project, scheme or programme that you think may fall into this category please contact Steve Mallinder s.w.mallinder@brighton.ac.uk.
