The project aims to develop and accredit a doctoral program in Czech titled “Research in Arts and Cultural Industries” at Palacký University Olomouc.

The doctoral study program will be accredited at Palacký University in Olomouc and will focus on training researchers in the field of audiovisual and performing production and consumption, as well as on carrying out dissertation projects aimed at studying individual actors in the cultural field, the structures of the cultural industries, and cultural artifacts along with their textual properties. The doctoral program will integrate social science, legal, and economic disciplines for application within dissertation projects that analyze current issues in cultural sectors in the Czech Republic. The project also includes the preparation of a study support in the form of a collective monograph addressing current problems in the audiovisual sector from the perspective of small peripheral markets, including the Czech Republic.

Cirg - about

CIRG – the Cultural Industries Research Group focuses on research into cultural and media industries, particularly on current issues, challenges, and conflicts arising from tensions between intellectual property law, the business models of cultural industries, the digitalization and platformization of cultural sectors, and changing consumer habits. The group’s name is an acronym of its English title, Cultural Industries Research Group.

The group operates on the basis of project-based funding through applied research projects (TAČR, NAKI, EEA and Norway Grants, OP JAK Intersectoral Cooperation), basic research projects (GAČR, ZIF Bielefeld, OP VVV Excellent Research, DFG), as well as contract research (State Cinematography Fund, Association of Audiovisual Producers).
