The Foresight Lab’s mission is to be the go-to destination for industry, research and policy makers to shape and inform future technology-driven creative RD&I in screen, games, performance and digital entertainment.
We will:
- Map the future landscape
- Showcase a robust and compelling evidence base for what works
- Aggregate, analyse and share rich and diverse data comprising the evidence base
The CoSTAR Foresight Lab is led by Goldsmiths, University of London with partners:
- The British Film Institute (BFI)
- Loughborough University
- The University of Edinburgh
- Arup
- Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre
- Data Thistle
- i2 media research
- Julie’s Bicycle
- Olsberg SPI
- Station 12
- Verian
The Foresight Lab’s role in the CoSTAR network is to capture and disseminate a body of industry knowledge, trends and needs – present and future.
We’ll do this by collecting, synthesising and analysing data to provide intelligence, insight and foresight, informing research, innovation and investment.
Our work will assist in understanding the opportunities and impacts of emerging technologies, and in planning and investing on the basis of a robust evidence base.
