In recent years the importance of the creative economy has also characterised the international higher-education sector through specialised education, research and entrepreneurship. In this paper I apply and discuss the concept of spillovers as a relevant theoretical framework to understand and foster the value generated by university programs in the creative economy. After introducing the main concepts of spillovers in relation to innovation and growth, I discuss the recent developments in the research on spillovers applied to the arts, culture, and creativity. Through a contextualised model of academic creative economy, the analysis is combined with that on knowledge spillovers in higher education and universities’ third mission, to fill a research gap that still exists in creative economy programs and their potential to generate creative spillovers. The study further integrates some more recent literature on university spillovers, which can provide useful methodological suggestions especially oriented toward internalising and enabling positive creative spillovers, in particular in an urban context.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the normal conditions within which Higher Education systems are used to operate. This regards not only teaching and research, but also public engagement activities as a university Third Mission. As for the latter, there is scant literature on University Museums as subjects that transfer cultural knowledge to the community, so providing a relevant public service. Addressing this research gap, this study focuses on the critical Italian context, exploring how University Museums have responded to the COVID-19 lockdown. To this aim, the social science notion of resilience is adopted for interpreting the evidence on their ability to cope with the emergency. Data from legislative and statistical sources are complemented by a questionnaire administered to 34 University Museums. Findings show the ability of Italian University Museums to handle the ongoing emergency by carrying out digital and non-digital activities that prevent it to become worse. A conceptual model that highlights how University Museums contribute to transfer cultural knowledge also at a time of emergency is finally proposed.

More people, more organizations, more towns, cities, regions and countries for more reasons have found that over the last 30 years the arts, their broader culture and overall creativity has something in it for them in renewal and revitalization. Over the last decade there have been over a hundred studies of the economic and social importance or impact of the arts, culture, heritage, the recycling of buildings for cultural purposes, creative quarters and the creative economy across the world. Yet there is much more to the arts, culture and creativity in city development. Places in transition urgently need to develop an overall culture of creativity cu ing across all domains within which the arts can be significant. This can be a painful exercise as old certainties crumble and systems, like education, need rethinking. Yet this can unleash new social innovations, new business models and new forms of citizen engagement. Renewal and transformation together are a cultural project involving a shift in mindset and perspective. Creativity is a primary resource as it creates the conditions from which innovations can emerge. Within this the creative economy sectors, especially when aligned to the dramatic digitization dynamic, play a significant role in developing new products and services, generating jobs, anchoring identity and helping expression. Cultural activities and programming and the physical assets of places, their heritage and older industrial buildings are significant elements in the renewal repertoire.

The pressure on higher education institutions (HEIs) to realize third mission activities continues to grow, intensifying the search for incentives to motivate academics to engage with stakeholders outside their HEI. Previous studies have found limitations in intrinsically motivating academic engagement; therefore, this study investigates the extrinsic regulation of motivations via incentives. The authors identified a broad range of incentives for third mission activities, belonging to four motivation categories: pecuniary incentives, career advancement, appreciation and research support. Drawing on self-determination theory, incentives (nudges and rewards) are empirically compared in a between-subject design with a sample of 324 academics from the business and economics disciplines. The analysis showed that nudges affect business and economics academics’ intention to engage with society in a joint research project. Furthermore, these academics responded well to incentives concerned with the research support motivation category. The findings contribute to the literature by highlighting the relevance of marginal incentives—nudges—in implementing appropriate incentives in HEIs.

The constant transformation that the institutions of higher education experiment and, particularly, the university assumes a re-consideration of their shapes, methodology, and missions, as well as the relationships established with society. Therefore, we shall consider that a “social mission” of the university or their “third mission” constitutes an umbrella that shelters a wide diversity of reflex conceptions, and at the same time, the relationship university – society. Additionally, take into consideration that this civic and social commitment in higher education should incorporate an integrator approach, involved with an idea of European or Latin-American citizenship, in any case, incorporated in the development of their supranational policies. Therefore, the objective of our work is double. On one side, to meet and analyze the notion of a “social mission” or “third mission” of the university and their conceptual network, to clarify the language and in which sense the different denominations are used, according to the different economical, sustainability or civic approaches to be adopted. Secondly, the treatment of these ideas will be addressed at the supranational policies of higher education both in Europe and Ibero America, according to what had been structured at the Higher Education European State and whether it has been promoted by the OEI. Also, it will be attended the way that this supranational policy aboard the civic and identity components, that linked to the social mission cooperate for the promotion of common citizenship. As a result of the analysis made we can affirm that the approach of the learning-service constitutes an emergent tendency on a global scale, appropriate to develop effectively the third mission or social mission of the university.

Globalisasi, sebagai suatu proses integrasi internasional, terjadi karena pertukaran pandangan dunia dalam berbagai sektor. Di Indonesia gelombang globalisasi sudah bergerak lebih dari 25 tahun. Tumbuh dan berkembangnya memberikan pengaruh terhadap berbagai sisi kehidupan bangsa dengan semua  atribut budayanya. Di bidang pendidikan, globalisasi memiliki dampak yang cukup besar bagi perubahan pada sistem atau model pembelajaran dan kurikulum yang diajarkan. Era industri kreatif yang digulirkan oleh pemerintah melalui Menteri Perdagangan RI waktu itu masih dijabat oleh Dr. Mari Elka Pangestu, telah  memberikan peluang seluas-luasnya bagi pendidikan tinggi seni agar dapat berfungsi sebagai salah satu pilar bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi kreatif di Indonesia.Indonesia sudah memiliki kantong-kantong institusi dan perusahaan yang dapat menjadi mitra bagi para lulusan pendidikan seni. Para talenta yang kreatif dan terampil lulusan pendidikan seni adalah sumber daya manusia yang diperlukan bagi sektor industri kreatif di masa mendatang. Karya film dan program acara televisi sebagai karya seni yang memiliki standart estetika, di dalamnya terdapat gagasan, pengolahan artistik, matrialisasi, pengalaman teknik dan manajemen produksi, yang  proses produksinya  membutuhkan sekelompok atau individu sumberdaya manusia berkualitas dengan tingkat  pendidikan setara diploma dan sarjana. Kemudian juga dengan  televisi apabila sudah masuk ke dalam rana industri kapitalis, tentu akan berdampak pada bagi masyarakatnya, seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Redatin Parwadi untuk menciptakan perilaku konsumtif bagi konsumennya inilah, televisi mempunyai peran yang sangat penting baik sebagai media ataupun sebagai alat bagi kaum kapitalis untuk mengkonstruksi pikiran konsumen. Sejalan dengan konsep HAKI yang melindungi kualitas  karya cipta  anak bangsa dari originalitas dan eksistensinya, tentu lembaga pendidikan seni memiliki peran penting di dalam melahirkan sumberdaya manusia yang mampu menghasilkan karya seni  kreatif dan inovatif. Maka dewasa ini, di Indonesia sudah saatnya menerapkan konsep  pendidikan multikulturalisme berbasis budaya lokal yang dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif untuk membangun kearifan lokal menuju kebudayaan dunia. Art Education of Film and Television as Actuation in the Creative Economy Industry for the Lecturers of Television Department, Faculty of Recorded Media Arts ISI Yogyakarta. Globalization, as a process of international integration, occurs because there is an exchange of the world’s view in some sectors. In Indonesia, the wave of globalization has been ongoing for more than 25 years. Its growth and development have given influence to all aspects of nation’s life with its cultural attributes. In education, globalization has a quite big impact for the shift of system or learning model and the taught curriculum. The era of creative industry launchedby the government through the Indonesian Minister of Trade which was once held by Dr. Mari Elka Pangestu, has now given a vast opportunity for higher education in art to be one of the pillars for the growth of creative economy in Indonesia. Indonesia has certain institutions and companies that could be partners for the graduates of art school. Creative talents andskillful graduates from art school are the necessary human resources for creative industry sector in the future. Films and television programs as works of art which has standardized aesthetics, therein we could find ideas, artistic process, materialization, technique and production management experience, whose production processes need a group of people or qualified human resources holding diplomas of bachelor degree and bachelor of honors or those in equivalence. When television is admitted into capitalist’s industry, it will affect the society, as stated by Redatin Parwadi, to create a consumptive behavior for the consumers,television has an important part both as media and as means for the capitalists to construct the mind of the consumers. In accordance with the concept of HAKI (intellectual rights) to protect the quality of copyrights owned by the nations’ generation with their originality and existence, higher education of arts has a very significant role in creating human resources who are able to create creative and innovative works of art. Nowadays, Indonesia has already applied multiculturalism education concept on the basis of local wisdom that could be one ofalternatives to build local wisdom into world’s culture.

Abstract The Millbank Atlas is an open-ended project that maps and remaps the neighbourhood of Millbank, an area of London, UK. This is home to Chelsea College of Arts (University of the Arts London) and our course, BA (Hons) Interior and Spatial Design, which has anchored the Atlas since 2016. We offer the following reflections as tutors on this course and co-researchers on the Atlas, along with our students and members of the local community. Central to this discussion is the kind of learning journey enabled by this type of project, and how it benefits from being distributed across cultural, social, geographical, discursive and other environments. This raises fundamental questions for teaching and learning, especially the potential to complicate normative assumptions in higher education about where knowledge is produced and who learns from whom.

Non-controversially, the full version of this article argues that the crisis in British higher education will impoverish teaching and research in the arts and humanities; cut even more deeply into these areas in the post-1992 sector; and threaten the integrity of every small sub-discipline, including the history of medicine. It traces links between the Thatcherite reforms of the 1980s and the near-privatisation of universities proposed by the Browne Report and partly adopted by the coalition. The article ends by arguing that it would be mistaken to expect any government-driven return to the status quo ante. New ideas and solutions must come from within. As economic and cultural landscapes are transformed, higher education will eventually be rebuilt, and the arts and social sciences, including medical history, reshaped in wholly unexpected ways. This will only happen, however, if a more highly politicised academic community forges its own strategies for recovery.

A recent interview with Vicki Heywood, Chair of the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA), highlights the role that arts can play in dealing with complex problems in society today and particularly from an international perspective. The message from this interview resonates with recent literature on leadership that also recognizes the importance of the arts in leading successfully through wicked problems. The importance of linking arts interpretations of leadership with culture and place is also taken into consideration within the analysis of the interview. The article concludes by suggesting that leadership practice into the future should promote leading through art to uncover the multiple identities and belonging that shape global society. More specifically, the article proposes that by leading through art, artists can help uncover and discover complex intricacies within context and culture which may help to problematize large scale generalizations which have become the epitome of serious global issues.
