The Creative Exchange Hub Management team members from Lancaster University, Newcastle University and The Royal College of Art met in Newcastle to make key decisions about how the Hub will develop over the next 48 months. With the launch event sceduled for May in Machester during the FutureEverything Festival, this meeting considered critical aspects of the hub offer that will be presented to partners, companies, and Arts & Humanities academics. We also discussed how PhD students will be recruited and how clusters of companies, academics and researchers will be formed.
In the coming weeks we will develop the core themes (pillars) around which the hub will operate and invite partners and external organisations to contribute feedback and ideas.
