WCE 1st Year Achievements • 4 events – a speculative lunch, two exchange workshops, a day conference, and a sandpit event (funded additionally by the GPP Digital Change) – which brought together over 50 cultural practitioners, academic staff, PhD students, and RSS and other support staff. • 4 cultural organisations supported to develop collaborative digital projects, and advised on possible funding opportunities. • 4 cultural organisations helped to develop potential collaborations with Warwick academics and PhD students on the theme of cultural value, and advised on possible funding opportunities.

  9. WCE 1st Year Achievements An AHRC Cultural Engagement Fund awarded for an early-career researcher to work with Birmingham Repertory Theatre; an ESRC Collaborative Doctoral Award for impact work with Birmingham Repertory Theatre; and an ESRC Collaborative Doctoral Award for work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Initiative taken to establish a Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Value. It will draw on the Warwick Creative Exchange to provide an informal sub-group of cultural producers to help support the work of the Commissioners and ensure their perspective is given a prominence so far lacking in policy debates. The  involvement of cultural producers is a marker of the Commission’s original contribution to the debate on the value of culture.

  10. WCE Plans • A series of inter-disciplinary seminars(1st Seminar, 27 June 2013: Is Culture Valuable?) • An international one-day conference in 2014/15 • Support and information to cultural organisations in the region, including advice on research collaborations with Warwick academics and support in applying for external funds • A website • New research into the thinking of cultural practitioners on cultural value
