Deadline: 31 May 2024
Applications are now open for the ENCATC Award for Research in Cultural Policy and Cultural Management 2024 . This prestigious recognition aims to stimulate academic research in the field of cultural policy and cultural management with an emphasis on its applied implications. The ENCATC Research Award also aims to contribute to the process of creating a network of academics who are competent in carrying out innovative research projects in cultural policy and cultural management.
The annual ENCATC Research Prize is awarded to a recently published doctoral thesis that explores current issues at stake and takes a step from evaluative (descriptive) to innovative and internationally orientated research projects. In addition, it is awarded to a doctoral thesis that can inform policy-making and benefit professionals in the broad field of culture.
For this Research Award, a very broad definition of culture is used, ranging from the arts to cultural heritage and the cultural and creative sectors. The doctoral theses submitted to the competition must be related to the field of cultural management and/or policy.
Awarded annually, the Prize consists of a new book based on the winning doctoral thesis published in the ENCATC Advances in Cultural Management and Policy Book Series, a series of publications specialising in topics related to cultural management and cultural policy. The ENCATC book series is now published by Routledge, the world's leading academic publisher in the Humanities, Social Sciences and STEM fields.
