CAMEo Research Institute for Cultural and Media Economies

CAMEo was launched in 2016 at the University of Leicester to provide new understandings of the cultural industries, the ‘creative economy’, arts, media and cultural policy, consumer culture dynamics, and the mediation and representation of cultural and economic life.

CAMEo is an interdisciplinary platform for academic research as well as for collaborations with culture and media practitioners. Together with a wide range of partners we explore the diverse and complex ways in which cultural and media economies are being defined, valued, enacted, experienced and represented. Our research also seeks to foreground issues of participation, sustainability and social justice in cultural and media economies.
