The Innovation, Culture, and Creativity Project (ICC) aims to develop a roadmap for increased federal support for research innovation at the intersection of the creative and technology sectors.
In late 2024, the program convened seven regional workshops and the NSF Creative Industries Summit to explore the interplay among innovation, culture, and creativity in communities across the country.
Ideas generated from these workshops and the summit were incorporated into the culminating national convening on December 5-6, 2024 at UCLA Luskin Conference Center in Los Angeles.
Invited participants included organizers and attendees of the workshops, attendees of the creative industries summit, and other experts and stakeholders from creative and technology fields.
