For this Axis, the creative economy integrates artistic and cultural practices in the health field to improve physical, mental and social well-being. This approach explores various ways of improving individual and community quality of life. It engages in research to better understand how artistic practices influence health. This synergy between health and artists, researchers and communities enables us to design programs tailored to each individual’s needs. By working together, these players can create innovative solutions for promoting health through arts and culture.
The main objective of this axis is to promote, encourage and initiate research, training, and knowledge transfer initiatives to better understand the relationship between the arts, culture and health, and to facilitate deployment of the knowledge acquired in stakeholder circles, in order to find answers to society’s challenges and issues.

DISCOVERABILITY
Headed byGuillaume BLUM (Ph.D.)
guillaume.blum@design.ulaval.ca
> Guillaume Blum’s research focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship through design, as well as the use of design in organizational practices (design management, design thinking, new organizational forms, etc.). He is interested in new management practices and their consequences for product and service design, as well as for individuals.
He explores organizational transformations arising from economic and societal change. His three areas of research are:
– Design and innovation
– Digital technologies and social transformation
– Knowledge development dynamics
> LATEST SCIENTIFIC Publications
Discoverability is the characteristic that contributes to finding or accessing on-line content, particularly cultural content. It contributes to ensuring the existence of conditions that enable creation and its dissemination, thus helping to stimulate the creative economy. By analyzing the organizational, economic, social and cultural dynamics linked to discoverability, from different perspectives, the research carried out in this area aims to promote innovation, develop critical thinking, strengthen cultural vitality and enhance meaningful collective practices, particularly in Quebec.
The main objective of this axis is to contribute to understanding the dynamics surrounding discoverability, disseminate knowledge on the subject and propose research-based modes of action. All of this research conducted at the individual, collective and societal levels, concerning culture and, more broadly, “products” from the creative economy and ideas that enhance user well-being, particularly – but not exclusively – on digital platforms.
