Creative Academic champions creativity in all its manifestations in higher education. Our goal is to support a global network of people interested in creativity and committed to enabling students' creative development. Our aim is to encourage educational professionals to share practices that facilitate students' creative development in all disciplines and pedagogic contexts, and to connect researchers and their research to practitioners and their practice. Our ambition is to become a global HUB for the production and curation of resources that are of value to the higher education community. We value 'openness' and most of our resources are published under a creative commons licence. We value collaboration and the partnerships we have formed with individuals and organisations. Membership is free and open to anyone who shares our interests and values. Our resources and activities are provided and supported by a great team of volunteers and we welcome new volunteers to the team.

You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea. Pablo Picasso

Our activities involve exploration and research for better understandings and for improved practices, in particular:
1) Creativity as a concept and perceptions and narratives of our own creativity in different contexts, in particular we are exploring the ecology of creativity (see projects page) 
2) The creativity of teachers and other professionals who support students' development - we are exploring the idea of personal pedagogies and how individual teachers facilitate students' creativity (see projects page)

3) The creativity of students and how their creative development is encouraged and facilitated by teachers and other professionals who contribute to their learning and development (see projects page)
4) The creativity of universities - the ways in which institutions encourage, support and recognise the creativity and creative development of students and staff.
