Second Research Seminar: Poznam
The seminar in Poznań focused on two research questions.
First one concerns what role the concentration of creative and cultural industries plays at different geographical scales and contexts? In particular, how do these concentrations work in small towns and rural areas versus the more traditional larger city perspective?
The second key theme of the workshop was the challenges and opportunities of the development of creative regions in Central and Eastern Europe. Speakers were asked to present papers on case studies, investigations and experiences of the creative industries in cities and regions with special reference to their contribution to region’s competitiveness and innovativeness.
The range of papers covered both theoretical perspectives and practical examples of the problems faced by researchers in trying to understand the role of creative industries in peripheral areas as well as the issues on creative regions in Central and Eastern Europe.
The seminar was held on the21st and 22nd of September 2011 at the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.
A keynote speech was given by Prof. Dr. Sako Musterd, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
