On behalf of the Global Creative Industries Programme of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, the University of Hong Kong, we are delighted to invite scholars, researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines in humanities, education, social sciences and business to propose papers and panels for the Fourth Global Creative Industries Conference to be held at Zhejiang Gongshang University from 26th May to 27th May 2018.

 

Since its establishment in 2012, the Global Creative Industries Programme has been endeavoring to foster the development of the creative industries, enhance interdisciplinary research on creativity and nurture creative talents.

 

The fourth conference on global creative industries is to provide a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to present their most updated research on all aspects of creative industries in all parts of the world. Creative industries in East Asia have been promoted for decades, but living in a more and more globalized world, we believe that it is the right time to discuss what are the opportunities and challenges faced by East Asian Creative Industries in the global context so that we can identify what should be done for the industries to grow in the coming decades.

 

The conference also serves a venue for researchers and educators to reflect on their research in this emerging field of study and locate the key theoretical and empirical questions that should be addressed in our future research.

 

Finally, the conference hopes to provide an opportunity for researchers, educators, and practitioners to exchange ideas, form alliances, and build network to advance both the industries and the understanding of the field.
