Creative futures and the cultural and creative economy

The University of Liverpool seeks world-leading researchers to complement its existing strengths in creative innovation, where music, culture, film and gaming intersect with technology, research and industrial application to deliver societal and economic impact.

Combining Liverpool’s world-leading cultural identity and the University of Liverpool’s interdisciplinary strengths, along with the successfully secured Music Futures AHRC creative cluster, our Creative Futures researchers place creativity at the heart of innovation and inclusive growth.

Areas we excel in include intellectual property for the creative industries, expertise in cutting-edge immersive and digital performance technologies, and the mapping of our regional creative ecosystems.

Our researchers work with students, industry, policymakers, cultural organisations and communities to translate research into real-world impact, strengthening the region’s competitiveness in the evolving global creative economy.
