The Cultural Policy Research Award was launched in 2004 by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. Through this competition, the programme partners aim to encourage and enable cultural policy researchers to undertake comparative and cross-cultural applied research that can inform policy making and benefit practitioners active in the field.
The Award is devoted to research projects which shed light on contemporary European cultural issues and challenges by analyzing them and offering policy solutions.
Four main (but not exclusive) issues the competition will focus on in 2011:
1. Developing intercultural and trans-national dimensions of cultural policies
2. European cultural policies in the context of globalization
3. Social dimensions of cultural policies
4. Values and ethics in cultural policy
