The European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres (ENCATC) organises its 17th
Annual Conference from 21 to 24 of October in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
This year's conference is possible thanks to the generous work from different local members (Diputació de
Barcelona and University of Barcelona), and the support of the Department of Culture
and Communication of the Catalan Government, the Institute of
Culture of Barcelona, as well as the European Cultural Foundation and the European Commission.
The Annual Conference brings together more than 250 professionals from several countries, most of
them from Europe but also from many other world regions. The conference is organised in the
framework of the European Year of "Creativity and innovation through education and culture".
Different initiatives take place during this Annual Conference:
- The 3rd Forum of Young Cultural Policy Researchers: The Forum gives early career
cultural policy researchers the opportunity to meet and share experience with their fellow researchers
from different countries, to present their recent research projects, and to discuss topical research
issues regarding content and methodology with senior researchers from other countries and possibly find
partners in the content of their research.
- The 6th Cultural Policy Research Award Ceremony (CPRA): The year 2009 CPRA winner will
be selected and announced in Barcelona! The CPRA is a 10.000 Euros research prize, targeting young
academics, researchers and policymakers. It is awarded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and the European
Cultural Foundation (ECF) in partnership with ENCATC.
- The ENCATC Conference, with its usual sessions: Keynote speeches, round tables,
workshops, visits, and receptions, among others.
- The 3rd ENCATC
Students' Conference: Open to 60 students from the ENCATC programmes.
Alongside these sessions especially designed for them, students are also welcome to the
other ENCATC events in Barcelona - main conferences, workshops and study visits.
- The ENCATC Annual Assembly: Our institutional annual meeting which is particularly
important this year as new members will be elected to the ENCATC Board. This event is open to members
and their friends.
- The internal ENCATC Working Groups' meetings: These sessions are also open to
members and friends of the network.
- The Bi-Annual Symposium of the Catalan Association of Cultural Managers (APGCC): The
activities of Thursday evening, 22 October, and Friday morning, 23 October, are shared with the
members of this very active professional association.
