Research Summary

Selected Current Research Projects

Improving Public Funding Allocations to Reduce Geographical Inequalities

This project seeks to improve the current UK government funding allocation system to help reduce geographical inequalities. High value and targeted funding provided to local authorities can unlock the potential of local economies, creating visible improvements within places and communities. However, like any complex system, it has its limitations. This project will provide a preliminary assessment of the pros and cons of existing funding allocation models and mechanisms and suggest recommendations for radical, moderate and incremental improvement to current processes. Working in co-production with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), this project intends to secure high policy impact.

Visioning a Creative and Cultural County - Developing Leicestershire County Council's Cultural Strategy

Visioning a Creative and Cultural County (VCCC) is a collaborative, academic-policy research impact project between the University of Nottingham (UoN) and Leicestershire County Council (LCC). Guided by a strong co-production ethos, VCCC is identifying LCC's policy needs in relation to joining up cultural provision, heritage service delivery, and the creative industries under a Cultural Strategy. To this end, VCCC is developing a programme of research activities, consultation exercises and knowledge exchange events to inform evidence-based policymaking at local and regional levels and to articulate how the process of Cultural Strategy development will support sustainable policy development and related impact going forward. To deliver this vital work meaningfully and effectively, VCCC is working in close collaboration with a range of regional and national policy partners, statutory and non-statutory bodies, and diverse local communities.

Digital Fabrication and Internet of Things (IoT) Infrastructures in the Greater China Region

This project is exploring the application of the latest digital technologies and associated Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures in the generation and delivery of creative and innovative outputs. At the centre of this exploration is a quest for understanding what these developments mean for work patterns, production processes, organisational forms, and business models among other things. Of interest as well is what such developments might reveal about the future of the fast-paced and multifaceted activity at the intersection of the creative and technology industries, the global digital economy, evolving political agendas, competing economic ideologies, and transnational policy interventions.
