Capturing Creativity Community Friday Fika 15 May, 11:30 – 12:30 BST
Capturing Creativity Community Friday Fika – first regular meet-up planned for Friday 15th May, 11.30 – 12.30 BST
The Capturing Creativity Community Friday Fika is an informal networking opportunity for professional services staff and researchers interested in creative practice research and the showcasing of this research via institutional repositories. If this is you, you are very welcome to join us! The Friday Fikas are organized by the team behind the annual Capturing Creativity conferences, which started back in 2023. We hope to organize regular Friday Fikas in between the annual conferences to help build our community of best practice.
At this, our first meet-up, we will hope to talk about ideas for the next Capturing Creativity conference which will take place in October 2026. We would also love to hear about your other news, updates and ideas around creative practice research. Please do share details of this event with your networks, particularly amongst practice researchers and PGR students who might be working on theses with a practice component.
The Friday Fikas and annual conferences alike aim to promote a friendly and supportive community to share ideas and best practice. This event is informal – do bring along a hot drink and feel free to share ideas and ask questions.
Please register for this event here and we look forward to seeing you on Friday 15th May!

Thanks for organizing this inaugural Capturing Creativity Community Friday Fika—it’s a great step toward building a supportive network for practice-based researchers. I’m especially excited about the opportunity to contribute ideas ahead of the 2026 conference and to connect with others who are exploring creative practice research. Looking forward to the discussion and hopefully seeing some familiar faces there!
