WHO'S WHO IN CULTURAL POLICY? INTERNATIONAL DATABASE IN DEVELOPMENT
IFACCA, 08 December 2005, Australia
IFACCA has teamed up with the Boekman Foundation of the Netherlands to develop ConnectCP, an online international database of cultural policy experts. Coordinated by Diane Dodd in Barcelona, Spain, ConnectCP will help anyone searching for experts on a particular topic in cultural policy or from a particular country. While ConnectCP is still in development, 63 experts from 22 countries are already featured on the site. We welcome your submissions, feedback and comments on ConnectCP.
ConnectCP aims to put people in cultural policy in touch with each other internationally. It will help organisers find world class speakers for conferences and seminars, research partners or analysts and commentators on a diversity of issues.
ConnectCP profiles outline each experts' experience, current interests, and other information relevant to their work in cultural policy. To be considered an 'expert' for ConnectCP, a person needs to be recognised in the field of arts and cultural policy as someone who holds a senior research, policy, teaching or management position and / or has demonstrated expertise, at national and international level, in research, analysis or commentary. Experts also need to be prepared to periodically provide and update information about themselves and their work for ConnectCP, and may be asked to provide referees. The full criteria are described here: http://www.connectcp.org/profiles/criteria.htm.
