ICOM launches a new museum research programme

An exciting opportunity exists to support the global museum community through research. ICOM, in partnership with the University of Shanghai, has established a global research and exchange centre called ICOM-IMREC (the International Research and Exchange Centre).

ICOM-IMREC is calling for applications to explore the state of public funding for museums which has been in decline in many countries for over a decade.

We welcome proposals from consortiums of academic institutions and museums working in cross-geographical and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The deadline for applications is 30th September 2022. You can find the brief for the targeted research call here (document attached) and the link to the online application portal here. If you have any questions, please contact training@icom.museum.

Note: The working language of ICOM-IMREC is English and the report for this project will be in English. For this reason, the research call is being sent in one language rather than the official three.
