The conference was held at RANEPA’s Institute of Public Administration and Civil Service. I spoke about our experience of introducing IT at the Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Then on Saturday, I joined fellow master’s students and lecturers from the Public and Municipal Administration programme for a roundtable on “The creative cluster in the context of urban economic policy”, held as part of a field workshop in Kolomna. The roundtable covered the following topics: - What drives creative clusters: government policy and entrepreneurial initiatives; - Municipal and private exhibition spaces; - Developing creative skills; - Delivering creative projects through public-private partnerships. ## Media ## Original posts - LinkedIn:
