ANNOUNCEMENT | 25-09-2020
The Compendium of Cultural Policies and Trends’ new Service
Provider: Kulturpolitische Gesellschaft e.V.
Since 2018, the Boekman Foundation in the Netherlands acts as the
Compendium’s Service Provider and is responsible for the daily management of
the project. Together with its team consisting of a project manager and a content
and communication coordinator, the Boekman Foundation implemented a number
of crucial developments, such as the redeveloped culturalpolicies.net, that maintain
the Compendium’s longstanding network and reputation.
As an international organisation with stakeholders throughout Europe, it has been
the Compendium’s vision to rotate the role of Service Provider every few years.
Therefore, after a successful three-year run, the Boekman Foundation will
handover its role of Service Provider to the Kulturpolitische Gesellschaft e.V.
(KuPoGe) in Germany. At KuPoGe, Ulrike Blumenreich and Oliver Göbel will
coordinate and manage the international monitoring project from 1 January 2021
onwards. In addition to taking care of the Compendium’s cultural policy information,
KuPoGe will focus on scientific research, online overviews and the establishment
of new features such as digital sessions on cultural policy.
Background
The Compendium of Cultural Policies and Trends was established in the 1990s by
the Council of Europe in cooperation with ERICarts. Since then, it has evolved into
a multi-stakeholder association that comprises research institutions, national
ministries of culture and other European associations. The countries represented
include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France,
Georgia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Romania and
Switzerland.
With the financial support of its members, the Compendium maintains a web-based
and permanently updated information and monitoring system of national cultural
policies and related development. At the heart of the platform culturalpolicies.net
lies the Compendium database, which encompasses cultural policy country
profiles. These comparable profiles are drawn up and updated by independent
cultural policy experts. The Compendium’s experts and their collective knowledge
are therefore crucial for the existence of this unique information platform.
The Compendium also translates the country profiles into comparative tables that
indicate trends and in turn inform European cultural policy. It anticipates and acts
upon current cultural developments (COVID-19 being a recent example) and
places them into social and political context relevant for researchers and policy
makers alike.
