New proposals are invited for the 2009 Cultural Policy Research Award, which is geared at young (35 or under) academics, researchers and policymakers. We co-initiated this award to stimulate much-needed research in the cultural policy field and develop a network of young cultural-policy scholars. Your proposed research should assist policymaking by offering possible solutions to the cultural issues being analysed. Deadline for application is 23 may 2009. sursa:ECFezine - - - http://www.encatc.org/pages/index.php?id=27 The CPR Award competition is open to candidates from all European countries.

Candidates will be assessed according to their qualifications, the relevance of their research project to cultural policy issues, and their vision of how policy recommendations could be implemented. Only applications submitted through the online application form on the CPR Award website will be accepted.

The award will enable the proposed research to be carried out (within one year of the award being presented). The CPR Award winner is expected to contribute to certain conferences and debates organized by the ECF. Candidates will be selected based on the following criteria: Proposed research projects must focus on matters related to the challenges of cultural diversity. Proposals may tackle this highly topical issue affecting contemporary Europe at three levels: a) locally/regionally/nationally; b) at European level; and c) globally, in relation to its impact on European cultural development. The term 'research in cultural diversity' is used inclusively to refer to cultural policies, education and training, civil society activities, aspects of foreign and security policies, aspects of migration, nlargement and European neighbourhood policies. However, a clear emphasis must be placed on the role of arts and culture in this context. In exploring the role of arts and culture at a time of increased heterogeneity, the research project must address the political and cultural urgency of diversity within our societies and within Europe. It must provide new insights and suggest practical policy orientations and/or recommendations for decision-makers and thinkers (new policy solutions and proposals of new instruments and/or procedures which will create favourable conditions for cultural diversity). Priority will be given to evaluative, comparative and action-research projects which cover the European or macro-regional space. The research outcomes should contain relevant policy proposals for systemic and structural changes, or innovative ideas for rethinking cultural diversity as a resource in the current European context. -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://www.oberliht.org.md . . . . . . . . . . . http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
