Have you worked on an interesting case in a castle or an historic
house?

Did you contribute together with other conservators from different
disciplines on a bigger project? Would you like to inform the field
about interesting interdisciplinary research taking place? If yes,
than this is a call for papers for you! Please, send us a 500 word
abstract.

Multidisciplinary approach to the conservation of historic interiors
will be the subject of the ICOM-CC Joint Interim Meeting at the
Complesso San Michele a Ripa Grande--headquarters of the Ministry of
Cultural Property--Rome, March 23-25, 2010.

Five ICOM-CC Working Groups will gather together to discuss and
elucidate problems related to the artistic, historic, environmental,
ethical and technical aspects that may arise at the
conservation/restoration of artefacts, which while differing in
techniques and materials, form as a whole a unique context of
heritage interior. Contributions should focus on specific projects
providing guidelines for preventive conservation and methodology of
treatments as well as on theoretical issues, conservation techniques
and research with the aim of defining an exhaustive state of the art
on this issue.

We invite the submissions of paper/ poster proposals by all
conservators, conservation scientists, curators and art historians
in the field independent of their ICOM-CC membership status.

All submitted paper/ poster proposals will be reviewed by the
program committee consisting of the Coordinator and Assistant
Coordinators of the individual ICOM-CC WGs.

The official language of the conference will be English.

Postprints of the presentations will be published on the ICOM-CC
web-site immediately after the Interim Meeting. Authors will be
required to submit full papers at the time of the conference at the
latest.

Please send an abstract for the paper/poster via e-mail to the
relevant coordinator of the ICOM-CC WG by September 30, 2009.
Abstracts of no more than 500 words should include also the title,
authors' names and address of corresponding author including an
e-mail. Successful authors will be notified by October 30, 2009.
Preference will be given to the working group members.
