The Association for Cultural Economics International (ACEI) invites you to participate in the 23rd
International Conference on Cultural Economics, to be held at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
This conference marks half a century since the founding of the ACEI in the 1970s, returning to the
Netherlands where the second edition of the conference was held in 1982! As a beacon for cultural
economics research, this conference is the oldest and one of the most esteemed gatherings in the
social sciences concerning arts and culture.
The ACEI Conference attracts a global community of scholars and practitioners to explore the
economic facets of arts and culture. This event is renowned for its inclusivity and diversity, offering a
platform for a wide range of speakers and methodologies. It encourages interdisciplinary contributions
that enhance our understanding of the economic, business, social, and policy dimensions of arts and
culture.
The organisers invite all industry stakeholders, scholars, policy-makers and practitioners to join us in Rotterdam for a dynamic exchange of ideas that will shape the future of cultural economics.
