Nature of Creativity

The Nature of Creativity scheme was a one-off call for applications launched in January 2006, which aims to bring together researchers with non-academic partners to consider and investigate the nature of creativity and its relationships with innovation and risk.

The scheme was co-funded by the AHRC, Arts Council England, Economic and Social Research Council and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. As well as considerably increasing the number of applications, this collaborative funding significantly enhanced the scope of the scheme by extending it to the social science and non-academic business and practitioner communities. The resulting awards demonstrate the broad range of disciplines involved and the breadth of approaches adopted in response to the topical question.

For further information about the awards please see the awards listings for details and contact information.
