2. Introduction to the day
• Introduction to the workshop organising team: Stuart
Cunningham, Julian Thomas, Chris Wilson, Jessica
Coates, Rebekah Denning
• The CCI research agenda
• Ideas Jam report back – Kate Morrison
• Discussion: What is your understanding of the CCI
research agenda, and how can the professional
development opportunities for RHDs/ECRs be enhanced
in the context of that agenda?
3. The CCI research agenda
• A broad, multi-disciplinary, problem-oriented, mission to contribute to a more
dynamic and inclusive innovation system in Australia and internationally by
identifying and addressing gaps and weaknesses in the innovation ‘value-chain’
• a ‘value chain’ that
– starts with sizing and sensing the dimensions and dynamics of the
sector,
– seeks to intervene in education and training, including higher education,
– creates ways of addressing bottlenecks in content generation and
dissemination,
– assists in improving the business structures and practices of creative
enterprises,
– examines policy settings and regulatory regimes for better outcomes for
creators and consumers alike, and
– engages with Australia’s place in the region and with its most important
export markets and cultural partners.

• We shift our focus (not our objectives) to gain greater
depth, intensity, and critical mass in fundamental and
interdisciplinary research in creative innovation, and
international linkages with complementary centres of
excellence across the world. At the same time we will
improve our capacity to generate commercialisable
outcomes, research consultancy services, knowledge
transfer, and further end-user links, that will sustain the
Centre beyond ARC funding.
