If you can tear yourself away from Married at First Sight Australia, there is an alternative on Radio 3 every night at 9.45pm for the next two weeks - the BBC /Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) current cohort of New Generation Thinkers have recorded a series of essays for Radio 3 on everything from the political nature of technicolor films to intimate radio listening to the cost of 'service with a smile' . My own essay will be broadcast on the 1st April. 'Mothers on Trial' is (unsurprisingly 🙂) about the treatment of mothers in the criminal legal system.

It's one of our favourite times of year here at AHRC: the 2024 New Generation Thinkers are going on air! 🎙️ From tracing childbirth practices through history, to examining the performance art behind 'service with a smile', ten brilliant early-career researchers will be discussing their work on BBC Radio 3 every weeknight for the next two weeks. Tune in to The Essay at 9:45pm from Monday-Friday between 24 March and 4 April. Search for 'The Essay' on BBC Sounds to see the upcoming schedule or listen again.

I am thrilled to announce the publication of this week's second Impact Story on the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Impact & Outcomes page. The Disobedient Buildings project is a remarkable example of how research in Urban Planning and Housing can make a real difference in our communities. This initiative connects communities in the UK, Norway, and Romania, exploring how residents of aging tower blocks strive to create safe and comfortable homes. Drafting this piece has been a wonderful experience. Collaborating closely with Professor Inge Daniels (PI) and receiving continuous support from my SIE team and colleagues has allowed me to amplify the academic and non-academic outcomes of research for and by our communities.

“What can we learn about the innovation performance of the creative industries from the UK Innovation Survey?” Creative PEC has launched new research, exploring how the creative industries participate in innovation activities including: R&D, investment, product and service development, environmental benefits and business strategy. The report - written by Dr Rita Nana-Cheraa and Prof Stephen Roper from the Enterprise Research Centre (UK) at University of Warwick - investigates the landscape of innovation in creative industries sub-sectors and compares creative industries innovation to Manufacturing and Other services sectors. Key findings include: A general decline in the percentage of innovation-active creative industries firms over the last decade. Compared to Manufacturing, the percentage of businesses engaging in innovation activities were lower for creative industries but higher than in Other services. National and regional public innovation support have been important drivers of innovation in creative industries. The creative industries report the lowest rates of all types of innovation with environmental benefits (3% to 15% of firms), below the UK averages (5% to 17%). Creative industries firms make disproportionate use of IP mechanisms, including copyright and trademarks. The Creative Industries are much more likely to use specialised innovation skills than other sectors. A higher percentage of firms in the creative industries invest in innovation than in ‘Other services’ sector, but lower than in manufacturing sectors. Creative industries firms were significantly more likely than Other services firms to mention a lack of qualified personnel as a barrier to innovation.

See how we helped iinouiio: Recycled Textiles bring a centuries-old circular recycling method into the the 21st century ⬇️     Could your business benefit from a research project? Email us at ftti@arts.ac.uk.    ♻️ This R&D project helped revive a centuries-old textile recycling method, to help tackle today’s textile waste, through providing iinouiio: Recycled Textiles with expert advice to develop a collection of high-quality yarns and woven textiles from quality  pre- and post-consumer wool and cashmere from across the UK.    🧶  As part of this programme, iinouiio: Recycled Textiles have built their own bespoke R&D service, sharing their in-house specialist expertise, to support other brands to develop solutions for difficult textile recycling processes.    This research was led by the University of the Arts London Business of Fashion, Textiles and Technology Creative R&D Partnership as part of the UK wide Creative Industries Cluster Programme (CICP), funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Humanities Research Council.
