Congres 'Cultural Heritage/Cultural Identity: The Role of Conservation'

Het driejaarlijks ICOM-CC congres (International Council of Museums - Committee for Conservation) staat tijdens deze 16de editie in het teken van Cultural Heritage/Cultural Identity: The Role of Conservation. De conferentie gaat door van 19 tot 23 september in Lissabon.

The conference theme aims to capture the recognition by communities or nations of the importance of affirming their cultural heritage in this era of globalisation, as they evolve through contact and exchange with other cultures. Considering this trend, the conference will explore and compare different approaches regarding conservation policies and methods, as well as scientific methods for studying materials and technologies, in order to improve our understanding of the role of conservation in valuing heritage and its relationship to other areas such as sociology, economy, and politics, which are vital in ensuring the sustainability of communities.

Een vijtiental lezingen zoals Research for preventive conservation and optimal presentation of world heritage in Museum Plantin–Moretus, Antwerp of The behaviour of books in changing environmental conditions and the implications for collection storage behandelen specifiek het terrein van de grafische documenten.
