[ecrea] 9th international conference on cultural policy research: Invitation to submit bids to host

THE 9TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CULTURAL POLICY RESEARCH

Invitation to submit bids to host ICCPR 2016



The International Scientific Committee of the International Conference 
on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR) hereby addresses universities, 
research institutions, researchers and research administrators who might 
be interested in hosting the Ninth International Conference on Cultural 
Policy Research. We invite these institutions, researchers and/or 
research administrators to submit proposals for ICCPR 2016, which should 
take place sometime between June and November 2016.



The ICCPR takes place biennially and has previously been hosted in 
Bergen (1999), Wellington, New Zealand (2002), Montreal (2004), Vienna 
(2006), Istanbul (2008), Jyväskylä, Finland (2010), and Barcelona 
(2012). ICCPR 2014 will be hosted by the University of Hildesheim, Germany.



At the last ICCPR (Barcelona), around 350 researchers from 43 countries 
attended the conference and just under 300 papers were presented. 
Further information about ICCPR 2012 can be found at www.iccpr2012.org/ 
and details of ICCPR 2014 will be posted at www.iccpr2014.de as the 
planning of the conference develops.



The main function of ICCPR is to promote, in association with the 
International Journal of Cultural Policy, a biennial research conference 
of high academic standards in different parts of the world. The 
conference provides an opportunity for researchers to present papers 
that reflect on cultural policy from any relevant discipline, provided 
they make an original academic contribution to the field. Proposals for 
papers are rigorously assessed by at least two members of the Scientific 
Committee (see below). Papers based on research that is primarily 
‘instrumental’ (such as market research) or on research designed for the 
advocacy of a preconceived institutional position are not normally 
accepted. This does not exclude applied research of high academic 
quality, particularly research that advances methodology.



The 9th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR 
2016) should invite participants to present papers from across the whole 
spectrum of cultural policy studies. This can include:



? Cultural policy and globalisation

? Cultural policy, religion and secularism

? Intellectuals and cultural policy

? Politics of cultural policy

? Cultural policy and values

? Historiographies of cultural policy

? Implicit cultural policy

? Comparative cultural policy

? Cultural policy and cultural industries

? Artist policy

? Creativity and the city

? Cultural policy and development policy

? Cultural policy as welfare policy

? Culture and economy

? Cultural policy, cultural diplomacy and international relations





Within this general framework, future organisers may wish to highlight 
specific themes and topics.

The organiser of the next conference (ICCPR 2016) should:



? present a proposal (organisation, budget, sponsors etc) to the 
Scientific Committee which is likely to succeed,

? organise the conference according to the main principles/objectives 
established by the former organisers and/or modified by the Scientific 
Committee

? spread information about the conference to relevant 
researchers/institutions internationally,

? develop the conference program in dialogue with the Scientific Committee,

? co-operate closely with the Scientific Committee in selecting 
abstracts/papers (i.e. organise the selection process, help securing 
academic quality of papers),

? make selected papers accessible on-line for discussants and other 
participants in due time before the conference,

? take full economic responsibility for the event; provide necessary 
sponsors – and try to keep the conference fee at a reasonable level,

? be prepared to meet with the Scientific Committee (or representatives 
of the committee) twice before the conference.



The organiser of the next conference will have the full backing of a 
group of international scholars, represented on the International 
Scientific Committee.

The Scientific Committee – in cooperation with the local organiser – will:



? take an active part in the planning of the next conference; (if 
possible) meet with the next organiser twice during the planning process,

? select proposals for papers to be given at the conference (from those 
submitted following the organizer’s call for papers)

? discuss the conference program,

? follow up the implementation of the program by serving as monitors and 
discussants during the conference,

? sum up the experiences from one conference to the next,

? encourage conference delegates to submit papers to the International 
Journal of Cultural Policy,

? select the next organiser of the conference,

? help the next organiser fulfil the obligations listed above.
