On 19-20 March 2012 British Council together with Tom Fleming Creative consultancy ran 3rd Russian-British Creative Economy forum, which was the third part in series of large scale events in the creative economy sector planned for this year. While the first forum (September 2011) presented a general overview of the creative sector both in UK and Russia, and the second forum (December 2011) was devoted to the governmental support of the creative entrepreneurship, this time we concentrated on the questions of copyright, intellectual property and educational programmes in these fields.
