Pool of Experts
Our Pool of Experts connects members with cultural policy specialists who can provide advice and support on specific issues.
IFACCA has established a pool of distinguished experts who will collaborate with the organisation on a variety of knowledge, evidence and insights projects. This initiative aims to leverage the expertise of cultural professionals to drive innovation and excellence in IFACCA’s projects.
The newly formed pool comprises respected artists, scholars, arts administrators, policymakers and practitioners. These experts will work closely with IFACCA on a diverse range of projects, including research and learning initiatives.
