Third Research Seminar (Copenhagen): Outcomes
The seminar in Copenhagen focused on two research themes. The first one concerned the role of local and regional policies and policy frameworks for creative regions. Of particular interest are best practices/lessons emerging in different European contexts.
Another key theme of the workshop was the challenges and opportunities of the development of creative regions in Northern Europe. Speakers were asked to present papers on case studies, investigations and experiences of a creative workforce and creative industries 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 and creative regions in the Northern Europe.
The seminar was held on the 18th and 19th of April 2012 at the University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark. Keynote speech: Prof. Dr Mark Lorenzen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
