Editor-in-Chief Prof. Fabio Donato, 26.07.1969 – 15.10.2023

It is with deep sadness that the European Network on Cultural Management and Policy (ENCATC) mourns the loss of Professor Fabio Donato. The ENCATC community has lost a visionary researcher, a respected and loved colleague, a friend, a mentor. Our community already misses Fabio’s warm heart, vibrant personality, and extraordinary professionalism. His presence will remain forever in ENCATC. This e-book is intended to be a moment to remember his thoughts, thank him for his contribution, and emphasize how his legacy can stimulate the international scientific community to continue reflecting on the issues he held dear.

On behalf of ENCATC.
