Universities and R&D for the Creative Industries
Description
XR Stories, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), is a creative industries cluster that helps the Yorkshire and Humber screen industries grow by providing R&D support. It’s based at the University of York.
XR Stories has supported 80 R&D projects in the creative industries by providing:
• funding (almost £2m in cash support and £2.4m in leverage)
• market insights
• cutting-edge research
• support for business development
Through our work at XR Stories, we recognise that creative practice can be understood as a form of R&D.
R&D across the creative industries involves a combination of:
• artistic practice and creative development
• performance craft and technological innovation
In the creative industries, it can be difficult for staff across artistic, academic and technological domains
to collaborate effectively with one another. This is because:
• different disciplines involve different approaches
• a variety of workflows are in use
• project participants may use different terminology
Creative producers can help navigate these difficulties.
