The Centre for Creative Technologies supports research and teaching activities that explore, analyse, and develop new links between creative practice and technology, including in such areas as Extended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Creativity and Virtual Production. These activities draw on existing strengths across the College of Arts in the creative arts, especially in such areas as Digital Media, Film, Music, Theatre Studies, and Writing as well as its strong relationships with the creative community in the West of Ireland and beyond. Equally, it supports research and teaching that explore creativity as a principle and practice that extends beyond the arts. Across diverse areas of activity, from healthcare to manufacturing to the societal responses to climate change, creative engagement with technology is an increasingly central element of societal challenges. The Centre for Creative Technologies is the first research centre of its kind in Ireland, exploring the intersection of creativity and technology across disciplines from within the traditions of the Arts.
