    LEARNING LAB DENMARK was established in 2001 by the Danish
    government, as an ambitious attempt to create an untraditional
    research and development center. The mission is to do cutting-edge
    research in the areas of learning, knowledge creation and competence
    development. Learning Lab Denmark will work experimentally,
    cross-disciplinarily and internationally. The specific research-based
    experiments are organized under a number of research consortia. Here,
    researchers from various disciplines and representatives from various
    sectors interact and cooperate to generate experimental development
    activities. Each consortium has a Consortium Director to oversee the
    processes and undertake the contact with the core of Learning Lab
    Denmark. Read more at

    THE CREATIVE ALLIANCE is established as a research consortium under
    Learning Lab Denmark - as a result of two Danish ministerial white
    papers (2000) commissioned by The Ministry of Culture and The
    Ministry of Trade and Industry. Our vision is to build a
    "learning-bridge" between the all-to-often separated worlds of art
    and business to enable knowledge and competence selection and
    diffusion. Our overall mission is to explore and accentuate the
    learning potentials of the interplay between art and business! We aim
    to do this by creating new paths of research in close dialogue with
    experimental practice. Read more at
