Creative Communities policy labs

Community Innovation Practitioner pilot update

Creative Communities is a major research programme funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and hosted by Northumbria University, exploring how culture can address regional inequality and help level up the UK.

The AHRC Creative Communities programme develops the potential for arts and humanities in fostering and enabling creative communities. Its mission is to capture the inspiring explosion of collaboration and connectivity that can unlock the full potential of our great arts and culture.

We will also be providing RIKE members with an update on the REF2028 consultation and an opportunity for discussion.
