Jeremy just passed on this message from the AHRC:
As he notes, they clearly liked the international dimesnion. Sustainability was a specific requirement of this particular funding round and may not be so important in future. The question of commercial engagement is clearly something to look at as we develop future projects. Very mucj looking forward to discussing when Michel is in town Sean From: "John Watts (AHRC)" <[email protected]> Date: 26 October 2011 14:48:35 GMT+01:00 To: Howells J. <[email protected]> Subject: AHRC Centre for Copyright and New Business Models for the Creative Economy Dear Professor Howells The Arts and Humanities Research Council and representatives from other participating agencies have now considered the Expressions of Interest for the proposed Centre for copyright and New Business Models for the Creative Economy. I am sorry to inform you that you have not been selected to submit a full proposal. As part of the selection process the panel discussed each Expression of Interest and wished to convey the following feedback; The panel agreed that there was clarity and cohesion of arguments, a positive focus and a good international element. Initially there would be a strong Director but the engagement was only for a short period raising concerns about what would happen at his departure. There were also concerns raised about where the commercial engagement was going to come from and it was not apparent how business and industry were going to be drawn in. The panel that the issue of sustainability was not sufficiently addressed so it was difficult to see what would happen when research council funding ended.
