The KreativInstitut.OWL on the Kreativ Campus Detmold is a association in context of science, consisting of a university (Paderborn University), a university of arts (Detmold University of Music) and a university of applied sciences (OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts). This instiute is the only one of its kind in Germany to combine creative skills from different disciplines. It pools expertise from media studies and computer science as well as from neighbouring creative disciplines and provides high-quality infrastructure that is to be used for research, transfer and science-based dialogue with the creative industries.
