Theme

UK Creativity Researchers is a collaborative community open to anyone with an interest in the psychology of creativity and creativity research. We are a network that facilitates the organisation of annual creativity conferences, to bring together researchers, practitioners, industry, academics, students, and any other interested parties in the psychology and science of creativity and application of this research.

This year’s theme is Creativity Research in Action. Anyone with an interest in creativity is welcome, from academia, practice, industry, and beyond.

Key Speakers

We are pleased to announce our first speaker is Dr Mark Batey, leading thinker & practitioner in creativity & innovation. We’re honoured that Mark has agreed to host a Creativity in Action Masterclass following a multi-level approach (individual, team, organisation, leadership) with an applied focus across both academia and industry. More details to follow!
