Creative Futures

Please enable targeting cookies in order to view this video content on our website, or you can watch the video on YouTube.

Through Creative Futures we harness creativity in all discipline areas to co-create and nurture adventurous ideas for collaborative research and enterprise.

Our creative approach helps us to envision, design, understand and change the world around us, as well as connect and engage with others in new and thought-provoking ways. Together, we co-create bold new research ideas and directions and engage with national and international discourses about creative practice. Building on our reputation for excellence in the Arts and Humanities, we work across all disciplines and with external partners to develop collaborative creative capacity.

Find out more about Professor Francis Hodgson, Creative Futures – Academic Lead

It is an understandable misapprehension – especially in a university which absorbed a distinguished art-school of great age – that creativity is reserved only for some specialists. It isn’t so: across all disciplines, Brighton’s creative practices and methodologies help us to imagine, comprehend and change the world around us. I very much look forward to spreading that message by finding and encouraging creativity in every part of our research community.
