Prospect kicks off the Knowledge Beacon project for the Creative Industries Knowledge Transfer Network.

Prospect has been retained by the Creative Industries Knowledge Transfer Network (CIKTN) to develop their Knowledge Beacon, a project to catalyse an increase in the uptake of knowledge across the Creative Industries (CIs). Over the next 10 months, Prospect will be co-creating a vision for how knowledge developed in research organisations can be more effectively transferred to and exploited by the CIs. To do this, Prospect will:

• Engage both CIs and research organisations in the process of identifying and understanding the barriers to effective KT
• Create a series of future scenarios that project what KT could be like over the next 5 to 10 years, particularly from the CI perspective
  
• Develop an actionable set of recommendations for government, industry bodies and the creative sector that will boost KT across the CIs in the future
