Creative Industries — Knowledge Transfer Network
Becaons For Innovation

The scenarios chapter of the Unlocking Knowledge Transfer has now been completed and marks the penultimate stage of this exciting Beacon project.
Following desk research, expert interviews, our online survey and related workshops four scenarios have been used to explore the complex but interrelated themes surrounding the Creative Industries engagement with knowledge sharing and formal mechanisms of transfer:
 
       1. ‘Stasis’
       2. ‘Austerity Britain’
       3. ‘Stars Align’
       4. ‘Talent-Centric Future’
 
Specifically the scenarios are being used as a tool to facilitate our exploration of what opportunities exists to increase CI engagement both now and in the future. This to support the development of evidence based recommendations and related actions that  we and other stakeholders can implement now to increase the Creative Industries engagement with Universities and other centres of research and practice excellence to drive innovation forward as an integral part of the knowledge economy. Please provide feedback on the reports as we look forward to keeping this community of interest central to our work going forward.
