About this position
The Observatoire des politiques culturelles (OPC), the cultural policy research institute of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, is offering support for doctoral research focused on cultural policy or cultural practices in French-speaking Belgium.
This opportunity is aimed at PhD students enrolled at a university or other higher education institution in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. The project should examine issues connected to cultural policy in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, with scope for related work on other regions or countries where the findings can be clearly transferred to this policy context.
The scholarship is designed to support research activity and dissemination within the Federation’s academic and public research environment, including a presentation of the work at the annual public research day and the production of an article for the OPC’s Ph.D. Review series after thesis completion.
Research proposals from the humanities and social sciences are eligible, making this a broad interdisciplinary opening for doctoral work on cultural governance, practices, and policy-relevant analysis within the French-speaking Belgian context.
