Contributions & Publications Activities & news Networks 

Created in 2004, the Creative Industries & Culture Research Centre aims to produce and disseminate knowledge on the management of the arts, culture and creative industries. Since 2021, it has been part of KEDGE Arts School, the institute that runs the Research Centre and its teaching programmes.

The centre focuses on the social inclusion of players in the production process and markets. It also examines the nature of creative and cultural goods and the conditions under which they are produced. Its researchers study the behaviour of French, European and international creative and cultural organisations, both for-profit and not-for-profit, public and private,  whatever the size, in order to help them manage more effectively.
