The Nordic Conference on Cultural Policy Research (NCCPR) 2017 takes place in Helsinki and focuses on questions around migration, nation, and the theory and practice of cultural policy.
The NCCPR is unique as a multidisciplinary meeting place where practicioners and researchers from a wide variety of disciplines can address issues regarding cultural policy, from standpoints which are relevant both to academic research and to the cultural sector.
The central questions of the conference address the new realities the Nordic countries face and the challenges of the future nordic cultural policy.
The conference is organised by CUPORE together with the Unit of Cultural Policy in the University of Jyväskylä and other partners.
Nordic collaboration is arranged between research institutions in all the five Nordic countries.
We aim to facilitate discussions on the roles of cultural policy in a time when trends such as globalization, increasing migration and changes in media and communication influence society and politics in new ways and create new roles for arts and heritage.
Arts, cultural heritage and cultural policy are closely entangled with the realities of migration.
The keynote speakers have been selected accordingly, representing expertise on multiculturalism and migration.
Dorte Skot-Hansen has until 2016 been Head of Centre for Culture Policy Studies at the former Royal School of Library and Information Science, now Copenhagen University.

Our exhibitions of Finnish and international art open up new perspectives into the past and the future. The artists of our temporary exhibitions have included names such as Tove Jansson, Carl Larsson, Pablo Picasso and Helene Schjerfbeck.

Suomenlinna is a fortress on a small group of islands outside Helsinki city centre. It was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1991. The fortress has during recent decades developed into one of the most popular tourist attractions in Finland. In addition, Suomenlinna is one of Helsinki’s urban districts, a home to approximately 800 residents and a workplace for about 400 people.
This base for the archipelago fleet was originally built midway through the 18th century, when Finland was part of the Swedish kingdom. Throughout time, the island has played a significant role in warfare, it’s geographical position is optimal for protecting the Finnish shore and the Russian capital. The Russian army conquered the island in 1808, and when Finland became an autonomous Grand Duchy of Russia, Suomenlinna (at this time named Viapori) remained a military base under Russian administration. Through the Russian era the island protected the Russian capital St.Petersburg and was of significant importance to the Russian army.
With the Russian Revolution and Finland’s independence, Viapori was taken over by the newly founded Finnish government in 1918 and renamed Suomenlinna (‘Castle of Finland’). During the Finnish Civil War, the fortress was used as an prisoncamp and during the Winter War the forces stationed on Suomenlinna included anti-aircraft and artillery units. In the mid-1960s, the Defence Force announced that it would be vacating the fortress completely. When the Suomenlinna Coastal Artillery Regiment moved out in 1972, Suomenlinna was turned over to civilian administration. Among the Defence Forces units, only the Naval Academy remains in Suomenlinna to this day.
