Design Museum - London

Functioning as a branch of the school, the group examines the positioning of actors within society, both during production processes and in markets. It also carries out research on the nature of creative and cultural assets, and the conditions under which they are produced. Researchers at the centre study the specific behaviour of European creative and cultural organisations in order to better support their management systems. The group carries out research for and in collaboration with numerous partners: Europe, the Ministry of Culture and Communication, regions, cities, cultural institutions, companies, and academic and professional journals. A team of 10 researchers is involved in the center, publishing articles, books and conferences each year. The center studies the nature of creative and cultural assets and the conditions under which they are produced, processes and markets, as well as the behaviour of creative organisations in order to better manage them.
