Opening Knowledge across Research & Entertainment

Entertainment shapes our perceptions.

That’s why OKRE helps develop trailblazing entertainment that tackles misleading perceptions and expands people’s understanding of the world.

We do that through:

• OKRE Network: Connecting the entertainment industry with academic researchers and personal lived experience through our free network, to spark exciting new projects,
• OKRE Fund: Funding projects which utilise this kind of collaboration.

Along the way, we curate and share ideas and information to support and inspire our community.
