This research is investigating what practices, processes and skills are involved in enabling and sustaining collaborative creativity (co-creativity) and CoDesign within the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) at ANU. A particular focus is in understanding how co-creative practices might vary across organisational and disciplinary contexts, and how different participants perceive, negotiate and access value from co-creative and co-design processes over time. This research is being undertaken as critical action research during the implementation CoDesign activities and projects as part of the Reimagine investment. The research is led by Dr Maya Haviland.

Research goals

The research has two primary goals:

1. To generate practical knowledge about collaborative design and creativity processes that is useful for and has application to the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the ANU, its partners and collaborators, and
2. To identify principles and methodologies for supporting and embedding co-creativity and co-creation into this and other cultural sector contexts and organisations, drawing on the insights gained from this case study.
