International Alliance of Cultural & Creative Industries Symposium
Review
The 3rd annual symposium of the International Alliance of Cultural Creative Industries took place at the House of Lords on the 30th September. Hosted by Lord Karan Bilimoria, an esteemed alumni of London Metropolitan's Graduate community, the event was attended by over 40 experts in the cultural and creative industries who networked with an exciting VIP guest list in the magnificent Lords Cholmondeley Room. With a key aim of facilitating dialogue between East and West cultural and creative industries experts, the event provided an opportunities for knowledge transfer between academics, policy makers and industry professionals. The emphasis on how the East and West could learn from each provided fruitful discussion around issues of business practices, models, regulatory approaches and cultural influences. A key benefit to emerge for many attendees was the learning opportunities from our Asian colleagues, particularly around digital approaches to intellectual property. The International Alliance of Cultural and Creative Industries is now in its 3rd year and Dr Hardy Xiang used the gathering to propose the Alliance provide a platform for greater collaboration in the form of an Association aimed at generating training courses, research collaboration and funding opportunities. With the next event to take place in Korea 2011, watch this space for exciting developments between key Univeristy and Industry institutions. |
