School of Law

CREATe is the Centre for Regulation of the Creative Economy, anchored in intellectual property, competition, information and technology law. Since 2024, we are core funded by the AHRC as UK research infrastructure.

Our research programme creates independent evidence and analysis that enables the creative industries to produce not just economic growth but creative opportunities for citizens and consumers in an age where cultural production should be limited only by time and imagination.

CREATe is more firmly anchored in the School of Law at the University of Glasgow (intellectual property law, information law, competition law), and works across disciplines as part of the University’s new Advanced Research Centre (ARC). 

Glasgow University's Glasgow Global Security Network was formed in 2010 to bring together a wide range of academics with an interest in security issues.

The Glasgow Human Rights Network  brings together researchers, practitioners, members of civil society organisations and policymakers who address human rights issues.

The University of Glasgow has a wide range of expertise on a variety of human rights issues, and conducts both research and teaching in this area.

The City of Glasgow, and Scotland more widely, also has many nongovernmental organisations involved in human rights issues. And Scotland constitutes a unique setting within the UK for addressing human rights issues within the context of devolution.

The  Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet) is an initiative of the University of Glasgow working internationally, and across Scotland and the UK to build on the extensive expertise relating to migration, refugees and asylum.

The network has a particular interest in aspects of community cohesion.

The Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research is a collaboration of several Scottish universities.

We aim to produce excellent research and to develop excellent researchers so as to better the development of policy, practice and public debate about crime and justice.

Though based in Scotland and determined to analyse and address crime and justice in Scotland, our work is international both in its influences and in its influence.

We work for, with and through fellow academics, policymakers, practitioners and others involved with justice all over the world, believing that Scottish criminology and Scottish criminal justice has much to learn from and much to teach others
