What is the Project Doing?
The project explores the barriers to arts-based ventures spinning out from universities. It will identify challenges such as institutional resistance due to unclear intellectual property (IP) structures and consultancy-based business models. The team will engage with academics and professional services to create policies and pathways to encourage spinouts in arts subjects like performing arts and film/media.
How Can Members Get Involved?
Members can participate in surveys, focus groups, and roundtable discussions during the research phase. Outputs such as policy documents and a playbook will be available to guide and inspire further actions in their institutions.
