Members of the INVENT project will participate in the 11th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research “Resilience of Cultural Policy“, which will be held from 23rd to 26th March 2021. The ICCPR conferences are major events in cultural policy research, which have been held biannually since 1999. The conference is organized by Doshisha University, in association with the Japan Association for Cultural Policy Research. It was meant to take place in Kyoto in 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be realized online in March 2021. The INVENT project delegation comprises researchers from Spain, Israel, Croatia and Serbia. They will give a panel presentation titled “Cultural Policy in the Age of Globalization, Digitalization, Mass-Migrations and Increasing Social Inequalities: New Concepts, New Approaches, new Methodologies” on March 25^th from 11.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (CET).
