Two years have passed and we are delighted to be able to give you an initial insight into our work at KreativInstitut.OWL. The affectionately named KIO is more than just a place - it is a meeting location for creative people, a nucleus for research and innovation with which we want to strengthen the cultural and creative industries.

The KreativInstitut.OWL is a network in the context of science, consisting of a university (University of Paderborn), a university of the arts (Detmold University of Music) and a university of applied sciences (Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences). This institution is the only one of its kind in Germany to combine creative skills from different disciplines. We bundle expertise from media sciences and computer science as well as from related creative disciplines and provide high-quality infrastructure to be used for research, transfer and science-based dialogue with the creative industries.
