Call for papers for the conference "Creative Future Insights 2025 – Creativity of Othering in the Age of Migration"

The Institute of Economics Zagreb, together with its partner VERN' University, is co-organizing the International Scientific Conference Creative Future Insights 2025 - Creativity of Othering in the Age of Migration to be held September 18-19, 2025 at VERN' University and the Institute of Economics, Zagreb. This is the third biennial international scientific conference dedicated to creative industries and their role in the economies of today.
 
Creative Future Insights 2025 will explore a timely and thought-provoking theme: the impact of "othering" cultures and traditions on mainstream and local traditions in the fast-changing global landscape of migration. The conference will provide a platform for interdisciplinary research, policy discussion, and innovative ideas, addressing areas such as:
 

• The social and economic significance of creative industries in an era of migration
• The relationship between culture, identity, and the creative economy
• The role of creative industries in promoting cultural diversity and innovation
• Media representation and the commodification of "othered" cultures
• The global creative industry's response to migration, woke culture, and identity politics. 

 
We invite you to submit your paper abstracts by March 15, 2025. The call for papers and abstract submission form, as well as additional information about the conference, are available at the conference website: https://creativefutureinsights.vern.hr/
