Experience Economy is one of the greatest buzz words that testify to creative industries and culture plays a central role in both economy and development at the moment. This has created an increasing need for planning of culture and especially training in cultural planning. This autumn opened its doors at RU for a Master's Degree in Cultural Planning.

There will be an information meeting on Master in Cultural Planning Wednesday, June 11 at. 15 to 17, in Building 02 at RU. All interested are welcome. Registration for aschouk@ruc.dk.

And the challenge applies equally, and not least, for the public sector.

Moreover, it makes broad knowledge in relation to theories in the field and in relation to how empirical work methods can be used to resolve the problems. More specifically, one becomes, through training, equipped to plan in a way which maximizes yield and value of the relatively few funds that are often cultural.
