The First Research Seminar @ Barcelona: OUTCOMES
The first seminar was held on 5-6th May 2011 at the GRC Creativity, innovation and urban transformation, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona
The first seminar focused on two key themes. One key theme explored the relationship between creative workers and creative cities. Speakers presented papers on case studies and investigations of the relationship between individuals working in the creative economy and their location and environments. The second key theme of the workshop was the development of creative economies in different geographical context in Europe, with special focus on Southern Europe. The range of papers covered both theoretical perspectives and practical examples of the issues and challenges faced by researchers in trying to understand the connections and interrelation between cultural heritage and the creative economy as well as perspective and issues in creative cities and regions in Southern Europe.
