Cultural Policy Research Award 2008

Deadline for applications 23rd May 2008.

 

 

The European Cultural Foundation, the Riksbankens Jublileumsfond and the European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres have launched the 5th Cultural Policy Research Award 2008.

The aim of the Cultural Policy Research Award (CPRA) is to stimulate academic and applied cultural policy research and to explore, through comparative cross-national research, issues at stake in contemporary Europe, and possibly anticipate new cultural policy orientations. The CPRA has also the ambition to contribute to the process of creating an "infrastructure", a network of scholars who are competent in doing comparative research projects in cultural policy.

 

The Award is open to young - 35 or under - academics, researchers and policymakers from all European countries.

 

Since 2007, particular attention is given to research projects that tackle issues of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue, especially as regards their implications for cultural policy making on European, national, regional, or local level.

 

For the year 2008, applications must be submitted between 21st February and 23rd May 2008 through the online application form on the CPR Award website. Before applying, candidates should consult the website for advice on how to prepare their applications. The winner of the CPR Award 2008, worth Euro 10, 000, will be publicly announced at the International ENCATC Annual Conference taking place in Lyon, France from 16th till 18th October 2008.
