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

Thu May 02 23:12:34 GMT 2013



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.
