Scientific Research Working Group
Triennial Programme 2008-2011
 

Organization

There is one coordinator and we are fortunate to have four assistant coordinators.

Communication

• Communications and announcements will be posted on the Scientific Research
• Working Group’s webpage.
• We will produce one Newsletter per year to update the membership.
• Notifications of meetings, conferences and job postings will be distributed as received to the membership.
• Use the ICOM-CC website to improve communication amongst ourselves, our peers and colleagues for information exchange, dialogue and networking.
• Share recent publications and articles of interest via the website.

Goals

• To advance and better define heritage research as an autonomous and interdisciplinary research area.
• Organize an interim meeting. This meeting will be held between the deadline for submissions of abstracts for the 16th Triennial Conference and the deadline for papers, based on the last preprint schedule this would be mid-July to late October 2010. This will provide a venue to strengthen and discuss the papers being submitted. However, it will not be limited to those who have submitted to the 16th Triennial Conference of ICOM-CC. Ideally this will be held before or after another conference nearby to minimize expense to delegates.
• Increase membership in the WG and ICOM-CC. It is hoped that by expanding our communications beyond ICOM-CC members, we can encourage our colleagues to join and participate.
