Report 1A - Identification of Skills Gaps in Cross-Media Production in the Creative Industries at EU-level
This report describes the transformation of the skills portfolio as the media design and production sector evolved
into the creative industries. The emergence and functioning of sector councils in Europe highlight this. These
councils are a means to come to a more structural and concerted approach in assessing skills needs involving all of
the relevant stakeholders. Special attention will be given to the latest and most relevant EU-policy and research
papers related to media design and production.
Report 1B - Identification of Skills Gaps in Cross-Media Production in the Creative Industries at national
level
This second of two initial reports into the developing requirements of the Creative Industries Cross Media
Design and Production sector will focus on national strategies of the four CIGN participating nations
(Belgium, Germany, UK/Scotland and Sweden) and observations from the silent partner, Ryerson University
in Toronto, Canada.
Evaluation Report
The CIGN project aims to research and identify gaps between the skill-sets needed in today’s
professional world in the Creative Industries and the education presently occurring at industry and
academic institutions. Over the course of the project, a series of gaps had been identified and course concepts
and materials have been developed and presented to students at universities participating in the CIGN
project.
This document focusses on the evaluation process that accompanied the presentation of the
courses. It will describe how the evaluation has been carried out and report on the findings gained
throughout the evaluation process.
