“…Regardless of the specific subsectors, the CCS is characterized by small and micro enterprises, individual actors (Hearn et al 2004) as well as numerous NGO's and local associations (Dovey et al 2016;Seixas and Costa 2011), with many being connected only through specific projects rather than stable work relations (Caves 2002;Scott 2000). Internationally, this trend is widely recognized (AURAN 2014;CS 2017a;CCT 2017;Indecon 2011;RB 2013;Sanchéz and Vega 2014), and leads to several issues when considering questions of internationalisation of goods (Mateus and Associados 2013).…”

“…In a simplified fashion, we can underline some of the priorities and ways that seem to be pointed out by the previous discussion. Such aspects stem from both recognizing the gaps in policy undertaken in regional contexts and by framing the needs of CCS as being explicitly relevant to the development of such policy, namely through incentives to HEI (Comunian et al 2015;Dovey et al 2016;Kimpeler and Georgieff 2009;McKelvey and Lassen 2018;Miles and Green 2008):…”

“…Mediating CCS subsectors: due to the subsectorially closed nature of the CCS, innovation can have difficulty diffusing (regardless of its nature). Moreover, as noted, issues of persistence of knowledge and existence of knowledge management mechanisms (Crossick 2006;Dovey et al 2016;Miles and Green 2008;Wijngaarden et al 2016) have a lot of relevance, with studies pointing to the advantage of having system integrators (Cacciatori et al 2012). In that light, HEI should be encouraged to take on an active role in promoting such engagements by intervening through practical experience exchange and promotion of in-sector collaborative projects: workshops, joint projects, meetings and similar actions.…”

The 21st century has witnessed a growth in the importance given to the third mission of Higher Education Institutions (HEI). This third mission refers to the socioeconomic engagement with the surrounding social and business fabric, namely in the form of knowledge transfer (KT) schemes and policies. Despite its widely-recognized importance, the Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS) has remained only marginally engaged with HEI, in part due to the lack of explicit policy by public actors to bring the two types of actors together. This article seeks to explore the institutional frameworks that have been developed for knowledge transfer from HEI to the CCS in selected regions of the Atlantic Area. Towards this goal, it first analyses some of the sectoral specificities of the CCS, identifying three feature which distinguish the sector: the entrepreneurial structure and organization of CCS; the type of knowledge, innovation and motivations of firms; and their absence of connections to HEI. The article seeks then to analyze to what extent existing policy on CCS and KT policies in the regions has tackled these specificities, through a qualitative analysis of reports, policy documents, and academic analysis of the regional economies, before proposing a model for understanding KT policy in the CCS sector, which serves as a preliminary line of inquiry into the knowledge relations in the CCS. Finally, these policy concerns are related to the perceptions of CCS practitioners, attempting to understand the primary concerns of these actors according to their regional context. The article highlights the existing disconnect between public policy, the current state of understanding of the CCS and the industry actors, urging for greater research and policy-development to promote innovation and socioeconomic growth.

“…Whether this is through repetitive short--term funding, or slow payment from HEIs of companies involved in KE projects, there is an ethical and economic question about managing sustainable relationships, as well as imagining what the needs and skills of the sector more broadly might be. Fourthly, the hubs are beginning to argue that the networks created by these dispersed projects require management (Dovey et al 2014). This includes supporting the formal and informal relationships between microbusinesses, individuals within an institution, and the institutions themselves.…”
