Research Platform

The platform for scholars at all stages to engage in meaningful dialogue and expand their networks across borders.

In 2025 ENCATC launched the Research Platform, a new initiative designed to connect and support researchers in cultural management and policy. The platform offers both online and in-person opportunities to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and strengthen the international research community.

  • Online meetings are held every four months, providing a regular space for discussion, networking, and sharing ongoing research;
  • The annual in-person meeting, organised during the ENCATC Congress, also ensures the continuation of the Young & Emerging Researchers’ Forum – a space dedicated to inspiring the next generation of scholars. The Forum offers young researchers visibility, networking opportunities, and support to advance their careers in cultural policy and management.

ENCATC Research Forum - our LinkedIn group

To complement these activities, ENCATC also created the ENCATC Research Forum, a LinkedIn Group launched in October 2025, which serves as an ongoing channel for dialogue, resource-sharing, and community building throughout the year.
