Preceding the main conference from Wednesday July 7th to Friday July 9th, a workshop for Young Researchers (YRW) will take place on Tuesday July 6th.

 

The conference theme will be cultural policy with keynote presentations and special sessions bringing together cultural institutions and policy makers to discuss this hot topic. Issues discussed will include the impact of digitization on the cultural sector that has led to new products and ways of accessing and consuming cultural content as well as new business models and approaches to funding (e.g. public-private partnerships) which calls for re-thinking how cultural policy is approached to achieve its objectives. The fast changes characterizing the cultural sector as well as the impact of the current COVID-19 crises on the cultural sector call for new research in cultural economics to understand and provide guidance for cultural policy.

As usual the conference will welcome paper presentations from a broad range of topics relevant to cultural economics. 

 

The following subject areas are intended to be illustrative of possible topics that might be considered, but other topic areas relevant to the arts and culture are also welcome:
