The ENCATC Journal of Cultural Management and Policy (EJCMP) stands at the crossroads of research, innovation, and policy dialogue in the cultural field.

In an online event, the Journal brings together researchers and professionals to explore its evolving vision and interdisciplinary approach to cultural management.

The session opens with Anna Villarroya, Editor-in-Chief, presenting the Journal’s mission, objectives, and current special issue calls. Then, Ricardo Leitão-Gonçalves, Partner Journal Development Manager at Frontiers, shares insights into the Journal’s international projection, open access policy, and publishing opportunities for scholars.

The discussion highlights the Journal’s commitment to bridging disciplines, contexts, and methodologies through three featured articles:

  • Laura Valoma explores the decolonisation of cultural policy and the rights of the Sámi people in Finland.

  • Dragana Kostica examines network governance in urban regeneration in Belgrade and Amsterdam.

  • Jordi Sanjuán, member of Econcult (University of Valencia), analyses how cultural and creative industries shape wellbeing.

These contributions underscore the Journal’s role as a vibrant platform connecting research, policy, and practice, fostering new collaborations and cross-sector insights in the European cultural field.

Key highlights:

  • The EJCMP reinforces its position as a leading platform for cultural management and policy research.
