The International Conferences On Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR) (External organisation)

Description

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. 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.

Peter Duelund was one of the initiators of the scientific network and has been menber og the Scientific Committe since the first conference was organised i 1999.

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.

The aim and responsibility of the Scientific Committee is – in cooperation with the local organiser – to:
•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.
