Collaborate - Innovate - Create
17-21 September 2007, School of Creative Arts, UWE Bristol
The first CREATE conference took place in September 2007. We would like to give a huge thanks to all who attended and helped to make it such a roaring success, in particular to keynote speakers Reiner Eschbach and John McCann for delivering such high quality, theme-setting lectures.
80 researchers from over 20 different countries found their way to Bristol for the four-day conference, and participated enthusiastically and actively in what is the first of a series of exciting, knowledge generating events.
This meeting of so many individuals, from multiple disciplines and various locales, has made the first important steps in establishing the cross-disciplinary network that CREATE is striving for. BUT - to enable this network to be truly cross-disciplinary, we need the involvement of researchers from each discipline (fine art, textiles, design, creative industry, colour psychology, film and more). So, if you are working in a field that you believe is under-represented in terms of research opportunities in relation to colour - please do apply for future events.
Digital Futures 2007: Visual Aspects of Imaging
Royal Institute of British Architects

Digital Futures 2007 follows the successful series of Digital Futures symposia, which started in 2000 and is held annually. This year the symposium is designed to elucidate the visual quality attributes of digital imaging, stressing the importance of the output quality to the viewer.
Papers are invited in any of the following, or related, areas:
•Device and system performance
• Digital colour reproduction
• Image quality evaluation & image quality metrics/models
• High dynamic range imaging
• Digital reconstruction
• Medical and forensic imaging
• 3D imaging
If you wish to submit a paper, please send a title and abstract of up to 200 words, preferably by e-mail, or as hardcopy, to the address below. Papers will be oral
