Creative Futures connects, incubates and accelerates ideas, people and partnerships to position ECU as a nationally regarded university for creativity and a leader in innovative, cross-disciplinary thinking.
We identify and incubate opportunities across ECU’s ecosystem, connecting people, disciplines and partners to spark new ideas and amplify impact. We provide platforms, programs and targeted support to accelerate what works, collaborating with schools, centres and industry to build sustainable, visible outcomes.
Creative Futures leverages ECU's existing strengths - connecting and extending opportunities under three key pillars: Creative Experiences, Creative Entrepreneurship and Creative Disciplines. Together, these areas showcase creativity in action, nurture enterprise and innovation, and strengthen creative practice across the University and into our broader communities and beyond.
We support our academic community to amplify their potential and grow university-wide creative thinking, potential and practice.
We're empowering a new generation of creative thinkers by providing opportunities for enterprise, innovation and partnership.
We put creativity on show by co-designing future-focused programs that leverage ECU's platforms, spaces and assets.
We celebrate and share ECU's creative story through our Art Collection, Public Gallery and cultural programs - connecting people, ideas and place through art, storytelling and discovery.
We co-design and deliver creative experiences that connect ECU with its communities. Through creative projects and experiences, we bring people together to celebrate ideas, achievements and collaboration across our campuses and beyond.
We create immersive digital environments that transform how ECU connects with the world. Through our large-scale screens and unique façade, we showcase creativity, research and community stories in bold, boundary-pushing ways.
We help ideas grow from concept to impact - connecting people, partners and possibilities across disciplines to spark innovation, nurture enterprise and drive real-world change.
