Call for Applications: 2021 ENCATC Research Award
On 8 April 2021, ENCATC, the leading European network on cultural management and policy and The Cultural Management Fund from the University of Antwerp have launched the call for applications for the 2021 ENCATC Research Award on Cultural Policy and Cultural Management.
Now in its 8th year, this prestigious Award recognition
aims to stimulate academic research in the field of cultural management and
cultural policy with an emphasis on its applied implications. The ENCATC
Research Award also has the ambition to contribute to the process of creating a
network of scholars who are competent in doing ground-breaking research
projects in cultural policy and cultural management.
For this Research Award, a very broad definition of
culture is used, going from the arts, heritage and culture and creative
sectors. Doctoral thesis submitted to the call should be related to the domain
of cultural management and or policy and must have been recently successfully defended
(up to 4 years after completion of the thesis) by an emerging researcher from
anywhere in Europe and the rest of the world.
An international Jury will evaluate the applications and
select the 3 finalists. The winner will be selected and announced at the
occasion of the ENCATC Research Award Ceremony to be organised on the 22nd of
October in an online format.
Granted each year, the Award consists of the winning
doctoral thesis being published in the Cultural Management and
Cultural Policy Education Book Series, a
series of publications specialising in topics related to cultural management
and cultural policy headed by ENCATC and funded by the Cultural Management
Fund. The international dissemination of the ENCATC Book Series is ensured by
Peter Lang, an international publishing group. In order to be published, the
winner will be asked to provide ENCATC with a proof edited manuscript in
English.
