Dr Paul Sweetman’s report on Subcultures and Innovation for Knowledge Works (National Centre for Cultural Industries, Norway) has just been published. This is a report on a year-long project undertaken with Professors Atle Hauge (INN University, Norway) and Dominic Power (University of Stockholm), looking at subcultural innovation and creativity and subcultures’ contribution to the cultural and creative industries. Although the formal project has now come to an end, Paul and his colleagues’ work in this area is ongoing and will now be developed in additional research and publications. Knowledge Works, financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture, is a project-based knowledge centre involving a team of Norwegian and international researchers, developers, and industry stakeholders, with the aim of developing a comprehensive knowledge base about the cultural industries. The report is available on Knowledge Works’ website
