WELCOME

Welcome to the Regional Studies Association Research Network on Creative Industries, and the Regions: Relationship between places, local and regional policies and creative production

The network aims to address trends and issues around the development of the creative and cultural industries at the regional level in UK, fostering a multi-disciplinary debate among researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the field.

The network has been initiated by Dr Roberta Comunian from the School Geography of the University of Southampton, Dr Caroline Chapain from the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies of the University of Birmingham and Nick Clifton from the Cardiff School of Management of the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. Topics for this Research Network have emerged for research that the three organisers have been doing in the field in UK and internationally. The network and its seminar activities are supported by the Regional Studies Association.
