The Centre for Creative Collaboration

University of London

In a new initiative for London, we are working on the Centre for Creative Collaboration. It’s a pilot project. We are bringing together HEIs and their leading and most innovative researchers, creative industry practitioners, SMEs and freelancers. We are creating an environment, based on the principles of open innovation, where new collaborative projects can be delivered. We’re interested in commercialisation, dissemination and use of the thinking, activity and project results. We’re trying to do something distinctive.

The project is led by Sir Graeme Davies, Vice Chancellor of the University of London, in collaboration with Goldsmiths and Royal Holloway (both members of the Federal University of London) and has the support of HEFCE and the London Development Agency. The project direction is itself a collaborative effort and innovative; an SME (us!) working with Universities to steer a project designed to be valuable to creative practitioners in London and beyond.

We’re experimenting with social media techniques both to form and manage the collaborations and to communicate openly the results of the project. It’s very early days and we have set up a Posterous site to begin the process of documenting the project. Lloyd Davis, founder of Tuttle (the London Social Media Cafe) has been appointed as our Social Artist in Residence.
