The Asia Pacific Network for Cultural Education and Research (ANCER) is the first network of its kind.

An initiative of LASALLE College of the Arts, the networkwas formed in 2011 as a way to stimulate and develop inquiry and research primarily in the field of arts/cultural management and cultural policy. ANCER emerged from a need to contribute to the development of thought leadership in the cultural education sector in the region.

ANCER functions as a project-based network of arts and culture researchers and practitioners and and provides a vital link between academia and practice in a part of the world where the arts and cultural sectors are in varying and rapid stages of development. It fulfills its objective of sharing and disseminating knowledge about arts management and cultural policy developments in Asia through two core programmes: the ANCER Lab and bi-annual ANCER Conference.
