BU Research Blog

BU is a member of the recently-formed Coastal Creatives Consortium (see below) and as such, we are now putting out this invitation to the broader digital creatives industry in the region to participate in an online survey, outlined here. Please engage your industry contacts so that we can build as deep a database as possible, with which ultimately to promote and leverage funding for coastal-based academic-industry research.

Do you work in the digital creative industries around Bournemouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Chichester or the Isle of Wight? Please take 5 minutes to help with our research on potential relationships and collaborations with universities in the South-Central region.

We are inviting you to participate in an online survey for the Coastal Creatives consortium of regional universities (Bournemouth, Bournemouth Arts, Chichester, Portsmouth, Southampton and Southampton Solent). The consortium’s mission is to conduct research into the South-Central region’s digital creative industries and to assess the demand for industry-university collaborative research, development and educational needs and funding. This project is run from the University of Southampton and participation is voluntary.

The research question is: What kinds of research collaboration and partnerships (if any) would regional digital creative industries like to establish with local universities?
