Malcolm Gillies considers how the ‘creative industries’ came about, and what their global and Australian prospects are in meeting student aspirations, research benchmarks, industry needs and cultural expectations. He then draws on exciting impact findings arising from the 2014 UK Research Excellence Framework, as well as a 2015 study of research translation by Australia's Learned Academies, and the recent Watt Report on research policy and funding. Gillies concludes with some educational observations about the changing disciplines located within creative industries, while depicting likely research rewards for successful engagement with industry and the broader community.
