2026 Young and Emerging Researchers' Forum

YERF contributions are organised into three thematic groups:

• Sustainable Careers in the Arts

• Networks, Intermediaries, and Digital Platforms in the Arts and Culture

• Arts Administration, Governance, and Cultural Policy Evaluation

Read together, they map the questions the field is asking right now: how careers are built and sustained, who holds power in cultural ecosystems, and what technology and governance are changing about both.
