Policy and Practice Research Institute for Screen and Music (PRISM)

Description

Research at the Policy and Practice Research Institute for Screen and Music (PRISM) focuses on impacting policy in the music and screen industries and draws on the University of West London's expertise in practice-based and applied research. PRISM's mission is to:

• produce research that stimulates innovation and economic growth in the music and screen industries;
• to promote social justice, diversity and opportunity.

PRISM’s focus on music and screen is rooted in the University's history. It is based in the building once occupied by the Ealing Technical College and School of Art attended by Freddie Mercury, Ronnie Wood and Pete Townshend.

PRISM is rooted in the University of West London's world-class expertise in music scholarship and teaching at the London College of Music, founded in 1887 and today the largest specialist music and performing arts institution in the UK.

It is also located in the University's world-class scholarship and teaching in film. The University validates a range of courses at the Met Film School which is based in Ealing Studios, opposite the St Mary’s Road site - the oldest continuously running film and television studio in England founded in 1902.

PRISM's research draws together expertise from four core research groups and networks at the University.
