ARIEL: UCL’s Centre for Creative Practice Research
ARIEL is a hub for intellectual exploration and exchange between academics of all disciplines and artists of all genres in the creative and cultural industries. ARIEL is a collaboration between UCL Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) and UCL School of Creative and Cultural Industries (SCCI).
ARIEL connects artists with academics, from world-leading departments in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and its extensive art and heritage collections, and from UCL East, with its state-of-the-art facilities for experimental research, education and community engagement.
The centre has affiliated staff and students from across UCL. If you would like to be involved please email lucy.stagg@ucl.ac.uk
