Happy Thursday, cultural entrepreneurs!

While searching for listings of 2010 conferences related to cultural entrepreneurship, I came across the 4th International Conference on Culture and Economy happening June 29-30, 2010 in Bolzano-Bozen, Italy (pictured above).

The European Academy of Bolzano-Bozen and the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt are organizing a Scientific Track within the conference, and have put out a call for papers. The deadline to submit your abstract is May 3, 2010.

Here’s a little description of what they’re looking for:

“The Scientific Track of the conference will address various topics on the intersection between culture, economy and entrepreneurship. Academics and practitioners are invited to submit research papers relating to one of the following areas / topics:

* The nature of cultural enterprises
* The cultural entrepreneur
* Strategies for marketing cultural capital
* Financing cultural enterprises
* Cultural industries and the role of entrepreneurship
* Cultural entrepreneurship and networking: creation and management of cultural networks
* Cultural entrepreneurship and innovation
* Creating cultural value for stakeholders
* Culture driven CSR
* Managing cultural enterprises
* Market orientation versus cultural goods”

For more information about the conference, and how to submit your paper, go to the EURAC research and Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt websites.

What are some other cultural entrepreneurship conferences happening in 2010? Culturelink Network, “the Network of Networks for Research and Cooperation in Cultural Development,” has a list of culture-related international meetings and conferences on their site. Who else has already created a list of cultural entrepreneurship related conferences?
