The annual symposium is for research students from all UK universities with a tradition of research in the fields of cultural policy and management. The intention is to provide participating students with the opportunity to network, collaborate and receive formal feedback from their peers.
We expect the symposium to focus on issues close to the hearts of those who make cultural policy and promote its implementation in this country. Papers should include analysis, primary research, comparative case studies, models of policy-making, impact studies etc. Last year the event attracted a number of individuals from government and independent agencies concerned with arts policy who provided feedback on the papers presented.
