Artificial Intelligence Embraced: the future of the cultural and creative sector 11-13 October 2023, Helsinki, Finland

The appointment not to miss for young and talented researchers!

The ENCATC Young and Emerging Researchers Forum (YERF) is specifically designed for the new generation of talented researchers in the field of cultural management and policy, to advance in their careers and enlarge their network in Europe and beyond.

The ENCATC Young and Emerging Researchers Forum (YERF) offers you a unique opportunity to:

  • get feedback on your research and diverse views on how to tackle the challenges you are encountering from leading researchers in the field;
  • get comments by fellow young and emerging researchers who are going through similar experiences;
  • engage in discussions on shared challenges with both senior and emerging researchers, on crucial matters for those entering the field;
  • expand you international network and develop relations for future endeavours.


Join online or in presence on 12 October 2023 in Helsinki, Finland, for:

  • Two sessions devoted to the presentation by a PhD candidate, who will be responded and commented by renowned researchers and fellow emerging researchers:
  • A speed dating session with simultaneous discussions on a series of matters pre-selected by young and emerging researchers at registration.


The programme offers young and emerging researchers the opportunity to actively participate with different roles: presenter, commenter, animator of a speed dating group or listener*.

The YERF is part of the 2023 ENCATC Congress on Cultural Management and Policy “Artificial intelligence embraced: The future of the culture and creative sector", which will take place on 11-13 October 2023 in Helsinki, Finland.
