3 Entrepreneurship at Goldsmiths The Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship (ICCE) delivers a range of academic programmes, and presents activities and events to promote an environment in which cultural, creative and social entrepreneurship can flourish. Our approach is to integrate entrepreneurship within the development of practice, and to take a creative approach to the development of new types of businesses and the infrastructure that supports them while raising awareness about the wider contexts in which these activities are developed. Reflecting on cultural organisations, we encourage you to critically analyse current management and policy practice at both micro and macro levels, and recognise your potential to create new models and practice for both. We create the conditions for you to understand and challenge your own world views, and to make informed decisions about your professional life by studying cultural policy and practice transdisciplinarily, in connection with international cultural relations and cultural tourism. We take the view that entrepreneurship is the creation of value this value could be social, aesthetic or financial and that when entrepreneurial activity is strong the three strands are interwoven. Therefore we are also committed to promoting conscious forms of social entrepreneurship and innovation whereby creativity and culture are harnessed to bring about positive change at the local and global levels. As well as offering postgraduate taught and research degrees, we run training for people who are developing businesses around a creative practice or an area of expertise, and for local or national policy makers who want to understand how to create the infrastructure needed to support an environment of creative entrepreneurship. We offer engagement activities that enable students and academics to work with industry partners to develop and explore new enterprises, and events to encourage debate and networking between all involved in the sector. In 2010, ICCE launched the SYNAPSE programme. This programme is available to all departments in the College, and offers Goldsmiths students the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial thinking and tools to map their future. This is not the same as the tools for an enterprise start up, but a means for students to think about their future and the impact they would like to make. Our innovative research ICCE is both research and pedagogically led. We are aware that our students are part of the research culture undertaking innovative research and practice work that will shape our understanding of, and potential to contribute to the creative, cultural and social economies. As can be seen from our staff research profiles (page 7), there is a diversity and interconnecting richness in both subjects and methodologies. These come together to inform our postgraduate taught and research programmes. Visit icce for full details of our degrees 3
