The creative enterprise strand is a catalyst for new collaborations and business models and a driver of innovation in the creative economy. Public engagement is at the heart of our work and deeply embedded into the core mission of the Conservatoire. RCS is one of the busiest arts venues in Scotland with over 60,000 tickets sold per year and the KE team provides support for new forms of public engagement such as our popular talks series – Exchange Talks.
