Intellectual Lab: Creative Industries

The Academic Coordinator of the Intellectual Lab: Julia Trabskaya, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Management.

The main idea of the Lab is based on a real-life project which is developed by students jointly with key art institutions of St. Petersburg. Under the supervision of top management of one of the art institutions and Lab’s tutors, the students will develop a project which will be implemented in real work of an art institution. 

This year, the topic of the Lab is “Arts and Business”. It is a hot issue as both art institutions and business companies are interested in collaboration building. 
During the project, creative industries representatives and Lab’s tutors will discuss the peculiarities and challenges faced by art institutions with the students. The project will help not only to develop the soft skills, but the students will have an opportunity to use the skills in real life by working on a project for a particular organization.

Overall, the Lab will provide students the opportunity to:

• interact with experts from cultural and creative industries, get insights and feedback from practitioners;
• understand the importance of cultural and creative industries among the community and how it relates to other industries;
• learn about the peculiarities of cultural and creative industries and get acquainted with the most influential cases in the industries;
• get involved in management games to gain soft-skills and projects related to technology use in creative industries.

"During the emergence of new trends, continuous change, the market needs the leaders of a new type who are able to think critically and make creative decisions, to communicate in impactful ways and efficiently work in teams. 

In the Intellectual Lab “Creative Industries” the students will develop their human or soft skills by working on a real project and collaborate with the experts from the arts, culture and creative industries"
