"CCI in Retrospect and Prospect" was the final research symposium of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI), held in Brisbane in April 2014.It marked the end of the ARC-funded period of the Centre (2005-13).
It was billed as follows:

"Over the past eight years CCI has sought to make the idea of innovation in and through the creative industries a mainstream policy consideration, deepen it for academic engagement, and apply it for industry and community benefit.
