The Congress in Barcelona will be the stage for the Awards' Ceremony, the event held on 15th September where we will unveil the winner of this year's edition of the ENCATC Award for Outstanding Contribution, the ENCATC Research Award, and the Best Research Paper.

The ENCATC Award for Outstanding contribution to cultural management, education, research, and policy is a biennial accolade established in 2019 to celebrate the Network's twenty-fifth anniversary. It represents the highest expression of recognition to exceptional achievements in developing and sustaining innovative and consistent approaches that contribute to positive changes in cultural education, research, management and policy.

Launched in 2014, this prestigious recognition is an award aimed at recognizing exceptional doctoral/PhD research that advances cultural policy, management, and education. It is a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to gain international recognition and publish their doctoral work with the leading academic publisher Routledge. What's more, the ENCATC Award also has the ambition to contribute to the process of creating a network of scholars who are competent in doing ground-breaking research projects in cultural policy and cultural management.
