ifa research award for foreign cultural policy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ifa Research Prize for Foreign Cultural Policy is a German science prize that has been awarded by the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (ifa) since 2001 . The award takes place annually if the jury decides on an award-winning work. Until 2012 the award was called the “Rave Research Award for Foreign Cultural Policy”. The issuing institute was the Alexander Rave Foundation in the Institute for Foreign Relations, which was founded by a legacy of the Hamburg businessman Alexander Rave. Alexander Rave was particularly closely connected to German foreign cultural policy.

Since 2012, the award has been ceremoniously awarded within the framework of the Scientific Initiative Group on Culture and Foreign Policy (WIKA) at ifa, which meets once a year in a host institute.

The “ifa Research Prize for Foreign Cultural Policy” is awarded to an outstanding master's, diploma, master's thesis or dissertation that particularly goes into research. At the same time, an incentive should be given to research in the subject areas of foreign cultural policy.

The prize is endowed with 3,000 euros. The award will be decided in spring. It is not possible to apply for the prize yourself. A jury made up of experts at ifa decides on the award .
