An upcoming event from one of the PEC's commissioned research projects, titled 'The UK live music industry in a post-2019 era: a globalised local perspective'. The project is led by Aston University in collaboration with Dr Adam Behr from Newcastle University and Craig Hamilton from Birmingham City University.

CREATe, the UK Copyright and Creative Economy Centre based at the University of Glasgow, recently started work on a number of ambitious projects for the next five years. While they conceived this 2019 Symposium as work-in-progress, they are committed to an interdisciplinary and long-term perspective. In these uncertain times, we need to look both backward (where do we come from?) and forward (where might we go?).
