Torsdag 21 oktober 2010
Venue: Concertstudio Kortrijk, Conservatoriumplein 1, 8500 Kortrijk, Belgium
In 2002 Richard Florida published "The Rise of the Creative Class", a book that stresses the importance of creativity for economic growth. Since its publication many cities and regions have experimented with tools and measures to foster creativity. Kortrijk in Belgium has also worked actively on creative clusters and innovation in recent years.
But how do you move forward, how do you draw up a coherent creativity policy and what are the success factors of such a policy? With the Fostering Creativity within Cities conference the Interreg IVB North Sea project Creative City Challenge and the Eurotowns network bring together experts, companies and cities and want to inspire and challenge cities and regions with creative ambitions. NSSP member Dundee College is also part of Creative City Challenge.
The conference is part of the Innovation Festival.
