As ENCATC has been inviting young researchers to apply for the 11th Cultural Policy Research Award (CPRA) until 30 June 2014, we took the opportunity to highlight the previous award winners and present their published research.

The CPRA has been awarded to the best research on comparative cultural policies or management topics presented by a young researcher. Currently, eight published works are available in our Library (listed below) and two more books will soon join featuring the 2012 and 2013 winners.
