Biography
Inge Panneels' current research is looking at sustainability in the creative industries as both a vehicle for culture change and how creative businesses implement sustainability in their business practice, particularly the circularly economy. She developed the Quintuple Bottom Line (profile, people, planet, purpose and place) framework, informed by funded collaborations with Applied Arts Scotland (Closing the Loop), Kathmandu University and British Council Nepal (2021/2022) and the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) (2021).
Publications include journal articles (Arts), book chapters (Routledge) and books.
