The deadline for applications is 03 June 2024

This prize, which distinguishes three doctoral theses for their quality, originality and essential contribution to the cultural policies of the Ministry of Culture, is a grant for the publication of the thesis. The amount awarded to each winning thesis is 8,000 euros.

The aim of the prize is to encourage researchers in their work on all areas of cultural policy and the institutions that run them. Whatever the disciplines and cultural fields: heritage, creation, media and cultural industries, languages of France, the research will focus more broadly on all aspects of these public policies: institutions, professions, socio-economics of culture, etc. Research will shed light on ministerial policies over the long term. It will address issues of access to culture, transmission of knowledge and social cohesion, and will situate cultural policies within all public policies in favor of territorial development, including with a comparative dimension.

Theses must be written in French and have been defended between 1^er January 2023 and March 31, 2024.

The deadline for applications is 03 June 2024
