The Programme

The Programme

Creative Communities is a £3.9m research programme exploring culture, R&D and devolution. It is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and hosted by Northumbria University.  

Through a strategic portfolio of innovation investments, the programme is building a new evidence base for how co-created culture can deliver devolution, enhance belonging, address regional inequality, and break down barriers to opportunity with communities in devolved settings across the devolved nations and regions of the UK.

Generating scalable best practice learning through innovative investment models and co-creation R&D, the programme is piloting new ways of doing funding, research and culture-led innovation in contexts or regional and national devolution to unlock growth, place-making and stronger economies that are by all, and for all.

Creative Communities is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council UK (AHRC Grant Agreement No AH/X001555/1) and hosted at Northumbria University, Newcastle.
