Knowledge sharing for industry, academics and alumni in the creative & cultural industries (CCI)
We are inviting industry partners, academics and Warwick alumni researching and working in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to a knowledge sharing event looking at the future of work in their sectors.
Hosted as part of the Business, Manufacturing and Innovation SpotlightLink opens in a new window, the event will bring together a diverse mix of research, industry and alumni perspectives to support open dialogue, shared learning and connection across the CCIs and research institutions.
The event will include opportunities to share knowledge and insights across research and industry whilst exploring how the dynamics of the sector impact on skills and the workforce, and identifying priority areas for future research and collaboration.
