CENTRE FOR CULTURAL POLICY RESEARCH

Our mission is to produce world-class analytical, theoretical and empirical research that contributes to public debate on cultural, communications and media policies in Scotland, the UK, the EU, and globally.

We are internationally networked in the academic world and have excellent relationships with policy makers, cultural agencies and the media and communications industries.

We value our role as an independent voice and aim to be a highly respected source of critical analysis.
