Since 1992, ENCATC has promoted cutting-edge research in cultural management and cultural policy. We focus on anticipating the future and understanding the past, ensuring that research findings feed into decision-making and policy design.
We connect and support researchers in the field of cultural management through our dedicated platform, an opportunity to exchange knowledge and foster collaboration.
We recognise exceptional doctoral/PhD research that combines academic rigour, methodological innovation, and meaningful impact with our yearly award established in 2014.
We publish peer-reviewed research and academic reference tools to provide evidence for education, policy and practice thanks to our collaboration with the publisher Frontiers.
We commit to making research accessible, usable and relevant for policy‐makers and cultural practitioners, ensuring evidence drives action, with the book series published by Routledge.
We inspire the new generation of researchers, offering networking, visibility and support to advance their careers in cultural policy and management.
