Launched in 2009, the goals of �Gabriela Tudor� Grant are to offer opportunities for European-level professional development and to contribute to the development and motivating of emerging Romanian cultural managers. The winner of the first �Gabriela Tudor� Grant in Cultural Management was Corina Bucea, manager of the Paintbrush Factory (Fabrica de pensule) of Cluj Napoca. Out of the 30 applications received in the 2011 session, the international jury selected Raluca Pop as the recipient of the Gabriela Tudor Grant 2011. Raluca is a cultural facilitator and manager (http://banipentruarte.wordpress.com) and an active member of the Council of the Coalition for the Independent Cultural Sector. The next �Gabriela Tudor� Grant will take place in the United Kingdom during June-July 2012. The deadline for the applications is 20 November 2011.
