REGISTRATION OPEN: Confluence 2026

Registration for our ground-breaking creative practice research (CPR) event is now open. 

Each of the Eastern Arc universities are crucibles for CPR, from the highly influential creative-writing course at UEA to the Digital Humanities Lab at Sussex, from the East 15 acting school at Essex to the interdisciplinary drama, design, digital arts, performance, media and film-making at Kent.

‘Confluence’ is an opportunity to experience and explore these strengths. Hosted at Kent in partnership with the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries (iCCi), and marking the launch of the University’s new Centre for Creative and Practice Research (CCPR), this will be an exciting chance to engage with and participate in CPR.

Registration

The event is free, but places are strictly limited to just 60 participants. To register, click here and provide some simple details (~1 minute).

For those coming from the other EARC universities, transport may be available (depending on numbers) free of charge. This will be provided on a first come, first served basis. We will contact you once you have registered to give you this option.
