The 1st Workshop Arts, Culture & Management in Europe
« Which Marketing for Cultural Organisations in Europe? »

Friday, September 15th 2006, in Neuchâtel (Switzerland)

In presence of Mr Jean-Frédéric Jauslin
Director of the Office fédéral de la culture from Switzerland

Call for papers

Cultural organisations in Europe are undergoing drastic changes. They face an increasingly fleeting and demanding public, which allocates its growing leisure time among an abundant offer. But these organisations are also undergoing more constraining rules of management and new performance criteria which accompany the amazing development of their supply. As a consequence, they adopt new marketing practices.

These observations serve as a backdrop for the upcoming workshop. The organisers wish to make this event a privileged opportunity for professionals of cultural organisations and European academics to meet. Special attention will be devoted to innovative marketing strategies, sharing new experiences and establishing research networks. It is for these reasons that the organisers extend a special invitation to professionals as well as to emerging researchers to submit a proposal. In order to stimulate productive discussions, the number of papers and participants will be deliberately limited.
