Key research themes

1. How are definitions and conceptual frameworks shaping public policy and academic discourse on cultural and creative industries?

This research area investigates the terminological, definitional, and conceptual foundations underlying cultural and creative industries (CCI), particularly how these influence public policy and academic understandings.

Understanding this interaction is critical for designing policies and business models that reconcile culture with sustainability imperatives and economic diversification.

3. What are the implications of technological and digital transformations, including AI, on creativity, labor, and entrepreneurship in cultural industries?

This strand investigates the impact of evolving digital technologies and artificial intelligence on creative processes, labor markets, institutional roles, and entrepreneurial practices within cultural industries. It examines how digital platforms, AI algorithms, and media infrastructures reshape cultural production, challenge traditional creativity myths, and mediate new forms of cultural labor and economic dynamics, highlighting evolving interdisciplinarity and stakeholder collaborations that redefine opportunities and inequalities in cultural enterprises.

Key finding: Through a transdisciplinary lens, this paper critically analyzes AI’s disruptive impact on the cultural and creative sectors, demonstrating how AI challenges the traditional notion of creativity as a uniquely human trait. It... Read more
