The Cultural Value and Impact Network (CVIN) aims to build strong partnerships between industry and academia. It connects researchers with expertise in cultural value to build interdisciplinary teams.
The CVIN is building RMIT University’s expertise in interdisciplinary collaboration and inventive methods for articulating, measuring, evaluating cultural value and social impact.
With practitioners and academics from across the University, we are creating strong creative teams that use new interdisciplinary methods attuned to cultural complexity and diverse communities to enable high impact research partnerships with the arts and cultural sectors, government and NGO community.
We have been mapping the capabilities with our colleagues in Art, Economics, Education, Finance and Marketing, Global Urban Studies, Media and Communication, Design, Architecture, and affiliates of DCP ECP, Global Business and Innovation and Social Change.
We have collated existing research methods and industry projects through a survey and interviews to identify existing approaches, drivers, current gaps, and future interdisciplinary methodological possibilities for student training and partnerships.
CVIN provides a place for people studying and researching issues surrounding the valuation of the arts, culture and creative industries from a range of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. The CVIN aims to provide a network in which scholars can share ideas, present their work, and discuss research methods, theories, modes of engagement, and knowledge translation towards impact.
