Positioned at the School of Creative Enterprise, at the London College of Communication, the Creative Industries Observatory (CIO) aims to become the leading force of academic research and analysis within the increasingly influential group of creative industries sub-sectors (both economically and politically) that characterise the modern knowledge economy.
The CIO is an academic research group, initially set up in conjunction with ‘Creative Capital World City’ (CCWC) – a HEIF-funded project aimed at supporting the creative industries in key world markets, including the UK, India and China. The CIO is based in the School of Creative Enterprise at the London College of Communication. The CIO will compile and process existing information from the many disparate sources that currently service the creative industries subsectors. And hence become a holistic repository of knowledge and information concerning the content, structure and dynamics of the creative industries in London as well as in the (emerging) markets of Mumbai, New Delhi, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. CIO services will add significant value through both micro and macro level analysis as well as cross-cultural comparative research. The CIO’s strategic plan includes the provision of opportunities for a diverse range of users, and a mixed economy funding model, designed to attract a broad consumer and user base. Reflecting its aims, the CIO team is multi-national and inter- disciplinary with a broad range of research and methods expertise. To download the official CIO statement in full - click here.
