#Audiences2030
In association with the ECREA Audience and Reception Studies section and YECREA,
with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK
 Welcome to Audiences2030!
On behalf of the CEDAR network, the Audience and Reception Studies division of ECREA,
YECREA, and our wonderful local organising team at the Universidade Catolica Portuguesa, a
very warm welcome to the Audiences 2030 conference at Lisbon.

CEDAR Consortium on Emerging Directions in Audience Research - is a consortium of

audience researchers funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK (2015-18). It
is directed by Dr Ranjana Das, University of Surrey, UK and Dr Brita Ytre-Arne, University of
Bergen, Norway. The network came together to map trends, gaps and priorities emerging over
the past decade in the field of audience studies. This consisted of three distinct exercises (1)
trend mapping, (2) stakeholder consultations and (3) horizon scanning.

This conference marks the completion of this 3 year project by CEDAR. We had initially
planned a very small gathering, no more than a workshop perhaps, but we were flooded with
interest, and are delighted to have approximately 120 people at this event, with about 90
presentations to hear over two days.

As you will see in the pages that follow, the programme runs in three parallel sessions,
separated by plenary sessions. We hope you find all of them exciting and useful!

On the next page we have details of the social events running throughout this conference
and we hope you will join us!

Last, we hope you find some time to enjoy the wonderful city of Lisbon, and enjoy the
conference!
