The ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation is delighted to invite you to a free seminar with Stan Metcalfe on how economists deal with creativity and imagination, in contrast to how they deal with calculation.

Stan Metcalfe is Professor Emeritus at Manchester University and visiting Fellow at the Centre for Business Research, Cambridge University. Until 2008 he was Stanley Jevons Professor of Political Economy and Cobden Lecturer at the University of Manchester. His research interests are currently focused on evolutionary economics and the modelling of evolutionary processes in relation to innovation, competition and economic growth. He is currently a visiting professor of Economics at the University of Queensland.

Parking: Street parking available. Disabled parking is located on Carraway Street.
