2012 Cultural Policy Research Award: Call for applications now open! 07 May 2012
The Cultural Policy Research Award was launched in 2004 by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, and since 2008, is developed in partnership with and managed by ENCATC. Through the CPRA annual competition, the programme partners aim to encourage and enable cultural policy researchers to undertake comparative and cross-cultural applied research that can inform policymaking and benefit practitioners active in the field. The Award is devoted to innovative research projects which shed light on contemporary European cultural issues and challenges. The high profile international jury includes: Lluís Bonet President (University of Barcelona, Spain), Eleonora Belfiore (University of Warwick, UK), Jacques Bonniel (Université Lyon 2, France), Timo Cantell (City of Helsinki Urban Facts, Finland), Sanjin Dragojevic (University of Zagreb, Croatia), Mikhail Gnedovsky (Cultural Policy Institute, Russia), Therese Kaufmann (eipcp, Austria). Candidates (who must hold at least a M.A. level degree in social sciences, art & humanities, or public policy research, and must be no older than 35 at the time of applying) will be assessed according to their qualifications, the relevance and innovation behind their research project to cultural policy issues, and their vision of how policy recommendations could be implemented. The CPRA represents a unique opportunity for young reserchers seeking to make a break into the research field and contribute to the production of new knowledge. In addition to providing the financial support needed to carry out the proposed research project, the award also helps young researchers in gaining visibility and recognition. For the year 2012 applications must be submitted by the deadline Monday, 07 May 2012 through the online application form on the CPR Award website. Before applying, candidates are strongly advised to consult the website for advice on how to prepare their applications. The six finalists which are selected amongst all the CPRA applicants will be invited to attend the Young Cultural Policy Researchers Forum (YCPR Forum). Funded by the ECF and Riksbanken, and developed in partnership with ENCATC, the 6th YCPR Forum (11-12 September 2012) will take place alongside the 20th ENCATC Annual Conference (12-14 September) in London and will provide young cultural researchers with the chance to come together face to face and discuss themes, ideas and methodologies of common interest with ENCATC members and major stakeholders.
