Conservation in a Changing World

Theme

    Museums in the 21st century are at the cross roads of major
    transformations in the global economy and environment. They are
    in a position to address the urgent need for safeguarding
    cultural diversity and bio-diversity as the common heritage of
    humanity. The preferred futures across the world are for
    environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability.
    Museums have a role to play as mediators in these
    transformations in promoting social harmony.

ICOM-CC Session

    Conservators as caretakers of the collections that form the
    backbone of collecting institutions have a very important role
    in this transformation of museums.  The half-day ICOM-CC session
    will focus on this important aspect and will include
    presentations particularly focussing on access, intangible
    heritage, conservation training and application of conservation
    in a developing context.

    Conservation professionals who are interested in presenting at
    this conference are requested to send a short abstract of less
    than 200 words to

presentations that have to be delivered in person at the conference.
Authors will be notified by May 15, 2010 and selected abstracts will
