Established in 1992, ENCATC is a network of more than 100 member institutions and professionals in over 40 countries active in education, training and research within the broad field of cultural management and policy. ENCATC members have an impact on the education of thousands of cultural managers worldwide.
Mission: To stimulate the development of cultural management and cultural policy education in Europe and beyond, engaging and responding to new developments in politics, economics, societies and technology.
Asia Pacific Network for Cultural Education and Research (ANCER) is the fist network of its kind in the region of Asia Pacific. An initiative of LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore, the network was formed in 2011 as a way to stimulate and develop inquiry and research primarily in the field of arts/cultural management and cultural policy. ANCER emerged from a need to contribute to the development of think leadership in the cultural education sector in the region of Asia Pacific, never forgetting the wider international perspective.
ANCER members are educational institutions from Asia Pacific that are acting as “academic anchors”, providing advisory role and support to the virtual structure of the network. However, contributors and participants in the ANCER platforms are diverse groups of artists, arts managers, cultural policy officers, academics, public intellectuals, students and others who consider themselves to be part of arts/creative ecosystems in Asia Pacific and beyond.
