ENCORE - Eurovision Research Network

Launched in 2026, the network establishes a global, interdisciplinary community of researchers dedicated to studying the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) through the lens of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

ENCORE investigates the complex, multidimensional nature of the contest—an event that iteratively returns again each year and remains still operational after seven decades. Our objective is to serve as a central hub for rigorous academic discourse, fostering emerging theoretical approaches and bridging international scholarship.
