Encatc Research Award Ceremony 2014
Brno, Czech RepublicThe first ENCATC Research Award Ceremony celebrated outstanding emerging researchers and their contributions to advancing cultural management and cultural policy internationally.
Held in the framework of the 22nd ENCATC Annual Conference, the ceremony brought together researchers, cultural professionals and policy representatives from Europe and beyond. Earlier that day, the three finalists — Emma Blomkamp, Luisa Fernanda Gutierrez-Navratil and Elodie Bordat — presented their doctoral research to the Award’s international jury and conference participants.
During the evening ceremony, Elodie Bordat, from Sciences Po Aix-en-Provence, France, was announced as the 2014 winner for her PhD thesis “The Dynamics of Changes in Public Policy. A Comparative Historical Analysis of Mexican and Argentine Cultural Policies.”
The Award was presented by Mgr. Miroslav Rovenský, Vice-Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic, and Michaela Šojdrová, Vice-Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education.
Beyond recognising academic excellence, the ceremony highlighted the Award’s wider ambition: to give emerging researchers international visibility, strengthen connections between research, policy and practice, and support a new generation of internationally connected cultural policy and management researchers.
