The conference programme is a dynamic ensemble of paper and poster presentations, with daily Young Conservation Professionals’ (YCP) presentations and panel discussions featured. The aim of the organisers has been to keep the programme light and enjoyable for the presenters and delegates, while offering the most informative and inspiring content.
The overarching theme for the conference is ”Sustainability in Conservation of Cultural Heritage”, which we believe to be a vibrant topic reflecting professional and personal priorities of today: eco-friendly treatment approaches, cross-disciplinary collaborations, social justice, conservation education, as well as data science, computational techniques and visualisation.
We invite and urge presenters to think of their work as conservators and cultural heritage professionals in a different way, and steer strongly towards innovative approaches in conservation under the umbrella of sustainability.
The preliminary conference programme will be announced by the end of February 2022. It will include five days of conference sessions, as well as workshops and tours.
