The European network of Cultural Administration Training Centres, ENCATC, is deeply grateful to
UNESCO for providing the necessary intellectual and financial support needed to carry out this unique
inventory. We hope it will prove to be a valuable source of information and a unique tool for cultural
practitioners and students keen to learn about, and receive a comprehensive overview of, current
training opportunities for cultural development personnel.
We wish to express our special gratitude to Prof. Patrick Boylan and Prof. Milena Dragicevic-Sesic for
sharing their profound knowledge of the field and for their important contribution to the survey,
paving the way for future training programmes and courses.
We also wish to thank Mari Lehto and Susanna Okker for the successful outcome of their work. Both
showed tremendous patience and expended great efforts to collect and analyse the data and
information for the production of the Profiles. Their commitment to the project is greatly appreciated.
Thanks also to Fenella Leigh, not only for carefully proofreading more than 150 Profiles of training
institutions, but for her professional scrutiny, and Henrik Korzen for the design of an exhaustive but
easily manageable database.
Our thanks are also due to Helena Drobná from the Division of Cultural Policies and Intercultural
Dialogue at UNESCO, who guided us during all the different phases of our work and who was valuable
help in editing this book.
Finally, we wish to express our gratitude to all those who contributed – through their advice and
exchange and acquisition of information – to the realisation of this survey.
