Last day: May 31, 2023 | Cultural Policy & Cultural Management ENCATC Research Award 2023
Applications are now being accepted for the 2023 ENCATC Research Award on Cultural Policy and Cultural Management. With a focus on its practical applications, this distinguished award strives to encourage scholarly investigation into cultural management and policy. The ENCATC Research Award also aims to aid in the development of a network of academics capable of carrying out ground-breaking research initiatives in cultural management and policy.
The annual ENCATC Research Award is given to a newly published PhD thesis that examines current concerns and transitions from evaluative (descriptive) research approaches to creative and globally focused ones. A PhD thesis that can aid in policy development and help practitioners in the broad field of culture is also rewarded.
A fairly broad definition of culture is employed for this research award, starting with the arts, cultural heritage, and culture and creative sectors. The field of cultural management and/or policy should be addressed in doctoral theses submitted in response to the call.
