The Creative Impact Research Centre Europe (CIRCE) is an interdisciplinary and international think tank dedicated to examining how politics can support creative economies and their impact in Europe.
Headquartered in Berlin and with research laboratories in London, San Sebastian, Tallinn and Zurich, CIRCE joins forces with a highly select network of academics and practitioners from across Europe in order to strengthen the continent's creative economies and harness their potential to respond to current and future crises.
In this way, CIRCE hopes to cushion the negative effects of Brexit on creative economies and preserve knowledge and existing networks.
CIRCE is financed by the German Federal Government’s Ministry of Culture and Media (BKM) with funds from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve of the European Commission.
