Aleksandra Uzelac is a research associate at the Institute for International Relations (IMO) in Zagreb and Head of the Culture and Communication Department at IMO. She holds a PhD (2003) in information science from the University of Zagreb.

 

She has 16 years of professional experience in the area of cultural research related to issues of digital culture. Her research interests focus on the impact of ICT on cultural issues, digital culture, virtual networks and portals, digitalisation of culture, organization of knowledge in the cultural field, issues of public domain and cultural heritage, cultural policy and cultural cooperation issues and the changing context that virtual culture has brought to cultural policies. Her present interest centers on the impacts of globalization and commercialization of society and the virtual sphere on cultural diversity. In 2008 she was co-editor and one of the contributors of the book Digital Culture: The Changing Dynamics.

 

Since 2000 her research activities were combined with practical initiatives aimed at developing the e-culture infrastructure in Croatia. She was the initiator of the CultureNet Croatia project in 2000 - the national cultural portal, a project initiated jointly by the Open Society Institute Croatia and the Ministry of Culture. As of 2001 she has been a member of the steering board for the portal development.

 

She is a member of the Culturelink Network team and the Culturelink editorial board since 1993, as well as a member of the international steering committee of the CultureMondo Network www.culturemondo.org (2006 – present).
