Impact Database changes address

Centre for Cultural Policy Research,
12 January 2008, Scotland

The Impact Database, hosted by the Centre for Cultural Policy Research (CCPR) at University of Glasgow, has a new website address: http://www.impact.arts.gla.ac.uk/

The Impact database is a bibliographical resource relating to research on the social and economic effects of arts, culture and major events. It is being developed and maintained by the CCPR at the University of Glasgow, and has been commissioned, and is funded, by the Scottish Executive.

Research themes include studies on: arts and culture; arts, culture and education; arts, culture and inclusion; arts and health; arts, culture and audience development; arts, culture and the economy; cultural tourism; major cultural events; and major sporting events, with an emphasis on research published since 2000.

Interaction and the establishment of a database community is a key objective of the project. To this end, users can:

  • add comments to the content
  • register to receive a quarterly e-mail newsletter with an update on new research added over the past three months
  • submit details of research projects, both current and completed, to be included on the database
  • offer feedback on the database and its content

CCPR aims for the database to be a valuable resource for those working or researching in the arts, culture and major events who have an interest in their social and economic effects. Feedback is positively welcomed either on the web facility or by e-mail to [email protected].
