The AHRC Creative Communities programme examines the role of culture and devolution in unlocking cross sector co-creation and place-based innovation across all 4 nations of the UK.
Building on the work of the 2023-24 cohort, the new CIP 2025-26 cohort are engaged in place-based innovation in the policy contexts and research ecosystems of the devolved nations and mayoral authorities of the UK, working to galvanise creativity in their regions by engaging cross-sector partners in R&D, with communities as research partners.
Located across all four UK nations, the CIPs explore the role of communities & partnership in collaborative R&D to develop a new evidence base on how and why culture can address key UK government missions, growth, regional inequality, belonging and equal opportunity.
