Alexander Rave Foundation scholarships (culture/cultural research)

The Alexander Rave Foundation traces its origins back to an endowment made by the Hamburg businessman Alexander Rave in 1942. The Alexander Rave Foundation promotes further education and research in the fields of science, the arts and culture. Thus far, the Rave Foundation has been active in:

1. The annual awarding of around 10 scholarships to young curators, restorers, museum technicians and cultural managers who live in a country in transition or a developing country. The scholarships allow for a three-to-six-month practical training period or non-paid work at a German museum, gallery or similar non-commercial institution in the area of the fine arts.

2. The annual awarding of a research prize on Foreign Cultural Policy in order to highlight an outstanding thesis or dissertation in the field of foreign cultural research.

3. The promotion of subjects on Foreign Cultural Policy in university education. (In German)

Routledge Companion to Museum Ethics is a theoretically informed reconceptualization of museum ethics discourse as a dynamic social practice central to the project of creating change in the museum. Through twenty-seven chapters by an international and interdisciplinary group of academics and practitioners it explores contemporary museum ethics as an opportunity for growth, rather than a burden of compliance. The volume represents diverse strands in museum activity from exhibitions to marketing, as ethics is embedded in all areas of the museum sector. What the contributions share is an understanding of the contingent nature of museum ethics in the twenty-first century—its relations with complex economic, social, political and technological forces and its fluid ever-shifting sensibility.
