The Cultural Communication and Computing Research Institute (C3RI) is a diverse multidisciplinary research institute. Based in the heart of Sheffield's Cultural Industries Quarter, we make connections between the research traditions of art, design, media production, communication studies, computing and engineering.

The Institute includes two Research Centres, the Art and Design Research Centre, and the Communication and Computing Research Centre. In addition, the C3RI is host to Design Futures, a Yorkshire Forward Centre for Industrial Collaboration providing specialist research and consultancy services in the areas of product and packaging design. We also offer consultancy and research in communications and computing to businesses through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and Business Link schemes.
