Celebrating Success – Dr Paul Richter

Congratulations to Paul on his recent award of Faculty Impact Funding, as a Co-I with a colleague in SACS, Dr Emma Coffield.

It relates to a HaSS Faculty Impact Fund project entitled ‘More than Meanwhile Spaces II’. It follows the completion of a smaller ESRC IAA-funded project (More Than ‘Meanwhile’ Spaces: Long-Term Business Models for Artists in the City) which assembled a network of stakeholders capable of enacting change in Newcastle/Gateshead and sought to develop a shared and sustained understanding of current decision making processes, their impact and potential, and to co-develop new, sustainable business models in the sector. The latest project builds on this by working closely with Newcastle City Council on a plan of action inspired by activities underway elsewhere in the UK such as London’s Creative Enterprise Zones.
