>The main aim of the Cultural Policy Research Award (CPRA) is to stimulate 
>academic research in the field of cultural policy. The overall area covered 
>by the award is applied comparative cultural policy research. Emphasis is 
>placed on research which analyses various aspects of cultural diversity in 
>Europe and which seeks to inform policymaking and benefit practitioners 
>active in the field.
>
>
>Proposed research projects must focus on matters related to the challenges 
>of cultural diversity. Proposals may tackle this highly topical issue 
>affecting contemporary Europe at three levels: a) 
>locally/regionally/nationally; b) at European level; and c) globally, in 
>relation to its impact on European cultural development. The term 
>‘research in cultural diversity’ is used inclusively to refer to 
>cultural policies, education and training, civil society activities, 
>aspects of foreign and security policies, aspects of migration, enlargement 
>and European neighbourhood policies. However, a clear emphasis must be 
>placed on the role of arts and culture in this context.
>
>
>In exploring the role of arts and culture at a time of increased 
>heterogeneity, the research project must address the political and cultural 
>urgency of diversity within our societies and within Europe. It must 
>provide new insights and suggest practical policy orientations and/or 
>recommendations for decision-makers and thinkers (new policy solutions and 
>proposals of new instruments and/or procedures which will create favourable 
>conditions for cultural diversity).
>
>
>Priority will be given to evaluative, comparative and action-research 
>projects which cover the European or macro-regional space. The research 
>outcomes should contain relevant policy proposals for systemic and 
>structural changes, or innovative ideas for rethinking cultural diversity 
>as a resource in the current European context.
>
>
>Young academics, researchers and policymakers (aged 35 or under) are 
>eligible for the €10,000 award. Applications should be submitted between 
>20 December 2006 and 1 May 2007 through the online application form on the 
>CPR Award website. Before applying, candidates are strongly advised to 
>consult the website for advice on how to prepare their applications.
>
