The Centre for Creative and Cultural Research (CCCR) focuses on applied research into creative practice, conducting imaginative and practical experiments at the intersection of creative writing, digital technology and contemporary heritage practice.

A central feature of our research concerns the effects of digitisation and globalisation on cultural producers, whether individuals, communities or organisations.

Many of the CCCR's members are creative practitioners who produce not only traditional scholarly outputs, but also creative publications and performances, exhibitions and exhibition design, and professional inputs to cultural and community institutions. The Centre was launched in March 2013 and is located within the Faculty of Arts and Design.
