A collaborative approach to research
Many of our research projects draw on collaborations with creative practitioners, policy-makers and cultural organisations, as well as our work with sectors beyond the creative and cultural.
The school is committed to working in partnership with organisations to develop collaborative, community-engaged and challenge-focused research that addresses pressing issues of relevance to the creative and cultural sector.
The new campus at UCL East offers a precious opportunity to accelerate and extend this collaborative approach to research, teaching and innovation with our partners, and we are excited about the impact that can be achieved through extending this partnership approach.
