The Cities of Culture Research Network: Turning Evaluation into Policy, brings together representatives of all Cities or Capitals of Culture research and evaluation programmes that have taken place in the UK. Cultural mega-events like the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) and the UK City of Culture (UKCoC) can be effective as catalysts and accelerators for culture-led urban regeneration strategies, through a focused and intensive programme of cultural activities. There are many evaluation studies about the impacts of City of Culture programmes, but they do not explore their medium and long-term effects on a shared UK-wide basis. Furthermore, they are not systematically used for policy development, which is a central issue that this project aims to explore.The proposed research network creates an interdisciplinary space where academics, postgraduate researchers and local, national and international policy makers can pursue a better collective understanding of the Cities of Culture initiative, whilst specifically exploring the conditions and procedures required to create productive links between evaluation and new policy development. The network includes all (European) Capitals, (UK) Cities and (London) Boroughs of Culture projects delivered by cities within the UK. The network will also connect UK researchers with their European counterparts in Aarhus (Denmark) and Galway (Ireland), allowing the network to benefit from insights into culture-led regeneration practices elsewhere in Europe.Network membership will consist of a core group of researchers, evaluation professionals and national and international policy representatives, along with an associate group consisting of academics, local policy makers and other interested bodies. The project will also establish a forum for postgraduate scholars researching the Cities of Culture initiative within partner universities and beyond. The network programme consists of three events. The first is a colloquium, bringing together all network groups to identify challenges, barriers and opportunities for turning collective Cities of Culture research evidence into policy. The second is a two-day specialist workshop where the core group will examine issues raised in greater depth. In the final colloquium, attended by all groups, the outcomes of all events will be examined, leading to the production of key recommendations for effective knowledge exchange between City of Culture researchers and policy makers in the future. The project will result in a website, three summary reports and one key recommendations document. Outcomes will be disseminated via the website and through the professional and academic networks of project members. The outcomes of the network will also be published in a professional magazine, such as Local Government Association First and as an academic paper in a leading cultural policy journal such as the International Journal of Cultural Policy or Cultural Trends.

文化城市研究网络：将评估转化为政策，汇集了在英国开展的所有文化城市或文化之都研究和评估项目的代表。欧洲文化之都 (ECoC) 和英国文化之城 (UKCoC) 等大型文化活动可以通过重点突出、密集的文化活动计划，有效地成为以文化为主导的城市复兴战略的催化剂和加速器。关于文化之城计划影响的评估研究有很多，但它们并没有在全英国范围内探讨其中长期影响。此外，它们并没有系统地用于政策制定，而这正是本项目旨在探讨的核心问题。拟议的研究网络创建了一个跨学科空间，学者、研究生研究人员以及地方、国家和国际政策制定者可以在其中更好地集体理解文化城市倡议，同时专门探索在评估和新政策制定之间建立富有成效的联系所需的条件和程序。该网络包括英国境内城市交付的所有（欧洲）首都、（英国）城市和（伦敦）文化区项目。该网络还将英国研究人员与奥尔胡斯（丹麦）和戈尔韦（爱尔兰）的欧洲同行联系起来，使该网络能够从对欧洲其他地方以文化为主导的再生实践的见解中受益。网络成员将包括一个由研究人员、评估专业人员以及国家和国际政策代表组成的核心小组，以及一个由学者、当地政策制定者和其他感兴趣的机构组成的联营小组。该项目还将为研究合作大学内外文化城市倡议的研究生学者建立一个论坛。网络节目由三个活动组成。第一个是座谈会，将所有网络团体聚集在一起，以确定将集体文化城市研究证据转化为政策的挑战、障碍和机遇。第二个是为期两天的专家研讨会，核心小组将更深入地研究提出的问题。在所有团体都参加的最后座谈会上，将对所有活动的结果进行审查，从而提出未来文化城研究人员和政策制定者之间有效知识交流的关键建议。该项目将产生一个网站、三份总结报告和一份关键建议文件。结果将通过网站以及项目成员的专业和学术网络传播。该网络的成果还将发表在《地方政府协会第一》等专业杂志上，并作为学术论文发表在《国际文化政策杂志》或《文化趋势》等领先的文化政策期刊上。
