CREATe, the UK Copyright & Creative Economy Centre based at the University of Glasgow, recently has started work on a number of ambitious projects that will occupy us for the next five years.

These are funded by the AHRC (as part of the Creative Industries Policy & Evidence Centre), the Leverhulme Trust, and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

So it seems like a timely moment to explore some of the intellectual themes that link these projects, to introduce new colleagues who recently have joined CREATe, and seek connections with the wider academic and policy environment.

While we have conceived this 2019 Symposium as work-in-progress, we are committed to an interdisciplinary and long-term perspective. In these uncertain times, we need to look both backward (where do we come from?) and forward (where might we go?).

All the events are free and we hope you will be able to attend some. They include a BLACA lecture by CREATe’s Elena Cooper on Portrait of Lady Eden by Whistler (subject of a famous Paris court case in 1897, and held in the University of Glasgow’ s Hunterian collection); and a policy keynote by Catherine Stihler, CEO of the Open Knowledge Foundation (and until 2019 a Member of the European Parliament for 20 years). Come and join us in shaping the next phase of CREATe’s research programme!
