Work made falls across four interdisciplinary themes; Creativity in the Digital Age, Urban Living, Life-long Wellbeing, and Social Value.

The Institute comprises of a core team of staff and visiting researchers, a vibrant postgraduate community across MA and PhD, a programme of research projects, events, and activities, a number of key industrial and commercial partners, and strong links with local, national and international creative industries.

They are particularly keen to work on projects that use creative technologies to make a difference to daily lives - urban environments, health and wellbeing, engagement with culture and creativity and communities.
