The outcomes of the cluster include:

• a coherent agenda for long-term ICT research with the creative industries that articulates future opportunities, key challenges and potential barriers to leveraging the creative industries as part of the digital economy;

• the shaping of a new and inclusive interdisciplinary community of researchers, business specialists and creative users that is ready to undertake future research projects;

• a set of seed proposals ready to be developed into full-blown proposals for EPSRC, TSB and other research funding bodies as part the Digital Economy programme.

Proposals

A number of seed proposals have resulted from Creator; these have been quantified in the final report to EPSRC.

Publications

A number of papers have resulted from the cluster. To date, these include:
