Welcome to the London Cultural Diversity Laboratory!

We are one of five research labs that form part of the Creative Impact Research Centre Europe (CIRCE), based in Berlin and funded by the German Ministry for Media and Culture and Brexit Adjustment Reserve fund. Over the course of 2023, CIRCE’s broad remit is to explore the impact of the creative economy, retaining research and policy links between UK and European research networks in this field, in times of polycrisis.

At City, we are conducting an inquiry into the range of research and initiatives concerning the concept of “Diversity” across London’s cultural and creative industries. The key aims are to set out the current research landscape and to build networks that can inform the wider European project. Find out more about the team and project.
