Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre
The Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) provides independent research and authoritative recommendations to aid the development of policies for the UK's creative industries, contributing to their continued success. We do this by asking some of the best researchers across the UK the most pressing questions about the sector.
Creative and Cultural Skills work across the UK to create a fair and skilled cultural sector by shaping skills, education and employment best practice. Through a programme of training, tools & resources, events, one to one support, sector updates and research, we provoke action and enable learning opportunities that drive change and help to build an inclusive skilled sector.
CultureCase comprises a vast array of carefully selected academic research from universities and scholars around the world that can add value to the work of the cultural sector.
The scope of the Creative Industries Journal is global, primarily aimed at those studying and practicing activities which have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent, and which have a potential for wealth creation. These activities primarily take place in advertising, architecture, the art and antiques market, crafts, design, fashion, film, interactive leisure software, music, the performing arts, publishing, television and radio.
