ENCATC congress invites you to join the Young and Emerging Researchers Forum (YERF)

The ENCATC Young and Emerging Researchers Forum (YERF) is designed for the new generation of talented researchers in the field of cultural management and policy, to advance in their careers and enlarge their network in Europe and beyond.
The ENCATC Young and Emerging Researchers Forum (YERF) offers you a unique opportunity to:
- get feedback on your research and diverse views on how to tackle the challenges you are encountering from leading researchers in the field;
- get comments by fellow young and emerging researchers who are going through similar experiences;
- engage in discussions on shared challenges with both senior and emerging researchers, on crucial matters for those entering the field;
- expand you international network and develop relations for future endeavours.
This year, on its 16th edition, the YERF will take place on October 12 in a hybrid format as part of the 2023 ENCATC Congress on Cultural Management and Policy “Artificial intelligence embraced: The future of the culture and creative sector”, which will take place on 11-13 October 2023 in Helsinki, Finland.
The programme will include:
- An introduction to the Forum;
- Two sessions devoted to the presentation by a PhD candidate, who will be responded and commented by renowned researchers and fellow emerging researchers:
- A speed dating session with simultaneous discussions on a series of matters pre-selected by young and emerging researchers at registration.
The programme offers the opportunity to actively participate with different roles: presenter, commenter, animator of a speed dating group or listener*.
ENCATC will select two proposals for presentation and will try to accommodate everyone in the programme according to their indicated preference regarding the role to play. However, ENCATC reserves the right to make adjustments for the good development of this event.
Centered on “Artificial Intelligence: impact on cultural policy, management, education and research”, the next ENCATC Congress on Cultural Management and Policy will take place on 11-13 October 2023 in Helsinki, Finland. It will provide a platform for researchers, educators, practitioners and policymakers to come together and discuss about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the cultural field, with special attention to education and research.
