The research will cover everything from fashion and music, to migration and seaside towns
The PEC’s open calls for commissioned research are a fantastic opportunity to develop cutting edge ideas and promote the latest studies into the creative industries.
The PEC focused its second commissioning call on four sub-themes: Brexit; business model innovation; climate change; and creativity in schools
Summaries of the selected projects:
Digital opportunities for the UK independent music industry: towards building sustainable regional music industry clusters
Dr Allan Watson, Loughborough University, will look at whether digital platforms helped the music industry survive COVID-19
Creative Industries Innovation in Seaside Resorts and Country Towns
Professor Gabriella Giannachi, University of Exeter will examine what we can do to support and grow creative businesses in seaside towns and villages
Exploring post-Brexit migration barriers to attracting international workforce among SMEs in the Creative Industries
Dr Mohamed Yacine Haddoud, Liverpool John Moores University, seeks to understand why the UK’s creative industries are struggling to attract an international workforce
Mapping supply chain developments within fashion micro clusters to capture and evidence emerging value chains

Managing transition in the UK fashion sector
Professor Sandy Black (Centre for Sustainable Fashion) and Dr Alessandra Vecchi, (Fashion Business Research Centre), both based at London College of Fashion, UAL, will be researching how micro to medium sized fashion businesses can drive net zero goals, resilience in times of transition, and sustainable prosperity
Transitioning to Sustainable Production across the UK Theatre Sector
