Our collaboration with Creative PEC
Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC) works to support the growth of the UK’s creative industries through independent evidence and policy advice. Creative PEC is led by Newcastle University with the Royal Society of Arts and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Creative PEC and the British Council are collaborating on an initiative to apply international learnings to the UK’s creative industries, and to strengthen creative economy research and policy globally. The British Council also convenes an International Council on behalf of the Creative PEC, to bring together leading policy and creative economy practitioners from across the world. The group shares international creative economy policy intelligence and research opportunities, and acts as critical friends in reviewing and providing an international perspective on the Creative PEC’s activities.
