About us
The Centre for Cultural Policy Research Cupore is an expert organisation specialising in cultural policy research. Its mission is to produce and disseminate research-based knowledge, studies, and evaluations on cultural policy for the benefit of policymakers, and civil society. The Centre is maintained by the Foundation for Cultural Policy Research.
Cupore conducts research projects, studies, evaluations, and foresight activities. In addition to carrying out research, our staff serve in various expert roles related to cultural policy. We undertake research both independently and in collaboration with policymakers and stakeholders in the fields of culture and cultural policy, as well as with the academic research community, universities, and research institutes. We disseminate our research findings and publications primarily through this website.
Our well-established domestic partners are the Ministry of Education and Culture, the University of Jyväskylä, the Finnish Arts and Culture Agency, the Association of Finnish Municipalities and public and private actors in art and culture. Cupore is a stakeholder member of the Association of the Compendium of Cultural Policies and Trends, which maintains the Internet-based information system for European cultural policy. Our other key international partners are the Nordic network of Cultural policy researchers and the Nordic Journal of Cultural Policy (Nordisk Kulturpolitisk Tidsskrift), as well as ENCATC.
