Conservation Science and Education

April 13-14, 2016

Joint Interim Meeting with ICOM-CC Working Groups Scientific Research, and Education and Training in Conservation and the Harvard Art Museums.

Harvard Art Museums and the Scientific Research, and Education and Training in Conservation Working Groups of ICOM-CC will be hosting a two day conference entitled Conservation Science and Education. The conference welcomes a broad interpretation of education, including the education of students of all types; donors and funding sources; the press and other media outlets. The aim of the conference is to examine an holistic way how education can support the establishment, growth and appreciation of science in a community that has a strong bias towards the humanities

This conference will be held immediately prior to the annual ANAGPIC meeting also at Harvard. Delegates will have the opportunity to attend both meetings, underlining the natural connection between the two. A visit to the Harvard-wide conservation laboratories  will follow a day and a half of presentations.         

The Call for Papers is now open and will close on November 30th 2015.

Abstracts will be selected on merit. Authors will be informed by December 18th 2015 of the decision by the organizing committee. No publications are planned for this event.
