Centre for Applied Research of the Faculty of Digital Media & Creative Industries

Centre of Expertise for Creative Innovation

Applied research and knowledge building for both students and staff: that’s what the Centre of Expertise for Creative Innovation is all about. Active in Amsterdam’s greater metropolitan region, and directly involving the creative industries and ICT sectors, Centre of Expertise for Creative Innovation confronts current social issues.

C entre of Expertise for Creative Innovation creates synergy with the business world and government so we can all work together to breed talent and provide reputable experts with the optimum means to realise their research. An industry advisory board brings insight to our strategic research agenda, thinks along on which additional market parties should be brought on board, and provides feedback to the substance of a project’s progress.

MISSION: SYNERGY

Our mission is to combine, develop and promote applied research related to the interface between the creative industries and ICT. Together with the sector itself, the founding partners are continually building on CoECI as a hub for practical research, education and training.
