The Creative Industries, the UK's fastest growing economic sector (https://www.thecreativeindustries.co.uk/) includes areas as diverse as advertising, architecture, arts, design, fashion, film, music, performing arts, publishing, R&D, software, toys and games, TV and radio, digital media and video games.
Our Network at Oxford Brookes brings together researchers, professionals, and local communities to share their expertise on this diverse sector. The network builds on the well established research history in various aspects of the Creative Industries, especially through the intersections of different disciplinary perspectives, including subjects such as psychology, built environment, geography, and business.
As a cross-disciplinary and collaborative Network, we explore critical issues and key themes around both local and global dimensions of the Creative Industries.
9 - 16 May 2023
Between 9th and 16th May, over 50 artists, performers, researchers and professionals enliven 20 interdisciplinary talks, workshops and performances around the themes of All-embracing Creativity, Climate Crisis, Impacting the Future, Social Justice and Space(s) for Resistance. We also give you short snippets of the thought-provoking research our network members are engaged in through our dedicated “Research Pills” section.
For the first year we feature in-person alongside online sessions!

Thousands of students at Oxford Brookes University are set to benefit from a £2 million investment into new technology-enhanced facilities and simulation equipment with a grant awarded from the Office for Students (OfS).
Oxford Brookes University has won a nationally recognised award for its excellence in giving emerging poets the chance to showcase their work through published pamphlets.
A new research network at Oxford Brookes University is launching with a focus on children and young people, aiming to improve their opportunities, experiences and futures.
Mentoring has become a crucial element of employment practice in the creative industries, nurturing new talent and ensuring that freelancers and businesses survive and thrive. This is especially the case since 2021, as creative enterprise begins to recover from the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. However mentoring provision can be patchy across the country, with pockets of excellence existing alongside regions where much more could be done.
This innovative research project brings together academic researchers from business studies and the humanities to work directly with national policymakers including Creative UK. Existing mentoring activity across the UK will be recorded, classified and mapped out to provide a clear visual representation of what is already being done across the country, as well as highlighting areas for further development.

“Cine/Mobility” was created by Dalila Missero, post-doctoral researcher in Film Studies at Oxford Brookes University, and funded through Oxford Brookes Collaborative Research and Travel Award grant scheme. The project is organised and developed in collaboration with Analía Fraser. Recordings now available.
The online film festival Cine/Mobility: Latin-American Cinema Across Borders was convened from 5 October to 5 November 2021. This academic and curatorial project explored multiple paths of mobility and border crossing between Latin-America and the Atlantic, focusing on stories and experiences of migration, community-making, solidarity and resistance. The festival consisted of two strands: a program of virtual screenings, Q&As and a series of round tables with filmmakers, curators and programmers.
The Screenwriting Research Network convened the SRN2021 Research Seminar Series Online from 31 August to 17 September 2021.
This online event replaced the traditional annual conference of the SRN (originally scheduled to take place in Oxford) and is chaired by Dr Paolo Russo (Network Lead of the Creative Industries Research and Innovation Network).
