Call for Papers

Submissions for papers are invited that address research, materials
testing and case studies for adhesives and consolidants used in
paintings conservation. Papers reviewing historical use of
consolidants may also be considered. Those wishing to put forward a
paper should send an outline of their proposal as a word document
(maximum 500 words). The deadline for proposals has been extended to
January 28, 2011, which should be sent to
icon.paintingsgroup<-a t->googlemail< . >com

If the committee selects your paper for presentation, we will then
request a copy of the full paper for review. The deadline for the
finished paper is 8 April 2011.

Guide for Presenters: Presenters have been allocated a time slot of
25 minutes in total. You should aim to talk for no more than 20
minutes in order to allow sufficient time for changeover. Please do
not over-run this time slot, as it would be unfair to the other
people presenting in your session. The chair for the session will be
timekeeping. Discussion periods have been allocated at the end of
the morning and afternoon sessions.

For the smooth running of the programme, we would like all
presenters to submit a PowerPoint presentation in advance of the
conference, preferably no later than 22 April 2011 and send it to
icon.paintingsgroup<-a t->googlemail< . >com and ensure you bring a back up
copy with you on the day of the conference.

We will also require an abstract in word format (approximately 200
words) with a biography of the author(s) for the conference
handouts, which should be submitted along with your PowerPoint
presentation. If you have any supplementary information/handouts to
go with your presentations please let us know in advance and forward
any relevant material.

Deadlines must be strictly adhered to!
