2026 ENCATC Education and Research Session

Nice, France

The Education and Research Session (E&RS) is a key component of the 2026 ENCATC Congress, taking place from 23 to 25 September 2026 in Nice, France, in partnership with ENCATC member Université Côte d'Azur.

The E&RS is the leading global forum for showcasing and discussing the forefront of research in the field of cultural policy and management. Over the past decade, this international stage has enabled hundreds of researchers and educators from around the world to disseminate their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers.

This year's session gathers contributions under the Congress theme "Artists and Cultural & Creative Professionals at the Centre: Rethinking Work, Policy, and Cultural Ecosystems", examining the status, working conditions, and evolving realities of artists and cultural and creative professionals today across three formats:

Research Papers, presenting research objectives, methodology, and results.
Panel Proposals, leading collaborative discussions that connect related research.
Teaching Demonstrations, sharing innovative teaching methods and educational tools.
