New proposals are invited for the 2009 Cultural Policy Research Award,
which is geared at young (35 or under) academics, researchers and
policymakers. We co-initiated this award to stimulate much-needed research
in the cultural policy field and develop a network of young
cultural-policy scholars. Your proposed research should assist
policymaking by offering possible solutions to the cultural issues being
analysed.

Deadline for application is 23 may 2009.

The CPR Award competition is open to candidates from all European countries.
Candidates must be able to speak and write in English.
Young academics, researchers and policymakers are eligible for the 10,000
Euro award.
Candidates must be educated to M.A. level in social sciences, art &
humanities, or public policy research, and must be no older than 35 at the
time of applying.
Candidates will be assessed according to their qualifications, the
relevance of their research project to cultural policy issues, and their
vision of how policy recommendations could be implemented.

Only applications submitted through the online application form on the CPR
Award website will be accepted.
Applicants should take into account the Jury’s time constraints - the
application documents should be clear and concise. The online application
form consists of seven sections (steps):

Applications should be in English.
Only one proposal per individual researcher will be considered. Once the

The Jury will review all applications and select the winner. If necessary,
the finalists of the competition (two or three applicants) could be
scheduled for a telephone conference interview.
The award will enable the proposed research to be carried out (within one
year of the award being presented).
The CPR Award winner is expected to contribute to certain conferences and
debates organized by the ECF.

Candidates will be selected based on the following criteria:

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, nlargement 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.
