Knowledge Transfer without Widgets: a lecture by Geoffrey Crossick
Auditorium
9:00am to 11:00am, Tuesday December 9, 2008
Part of the Canadian University Presidents’ Initiative in Cultural Sector Education and Research
More than $84 billion.
That’s how much creators — artists, designers and the traditionally recognized arts and cultural industries of new media, broadcasting, film, publishing and music — contribute to Canada’s economy every year.
It’s a lot of wealth. With the right amount of nurturing and the support of public policy, our creators can engage new knowledge and invention across a wide range of disciplines.
Join Canada’s university presidents — as well as leading figures from the cultural, private and public sectors — in exploring how culture is key to the nation’s innovation agenda and economic success.
