Call for posters--IIC Congress

IIC Congress Update

Planning for the 2012 IIC Congress in Vienna continues apace.  One
of the attractions will be a number of evening events, which will
allow delegates to meet fellow conservation professionals socially;
these are as essential a part of IIC Congresses as the programme of
papers and posters. In addition, excursions are being planned to
venues of special conservation interest as well as sites of more
general heritage interest so that those attending can put their
conservation into context. There will also be a Trade Fair for those
attending to browse and discuss matters with the leading suppliers
in the field

Below you will find the Call for Posters; the Congress papers are
already under consideration by the Technical Committee (under the
leadership of Sharon Cather) and will make for a series of important
and informative presentations; the posters will augment these,
allowing displays of ideas, research and work that will add to the
value of the event.

We are also delighted to announce the first Student Poster
initiative, which will give students and recent graduates the
opportunity to communicate their projects in a special section of
the congress poster display.

We will be opening booking in February 2012, and the full details of
the Congress will be available then from the Congress section of the
IIC web-site as well as regular updates in News in Conservation. We
very much look forward to seeing you there.

Call for posters

Poster presentation is particularly well suited to material with a
strong visual impact. Posters are displayed prominently throughout
the meeting and during the week there will be a dedicated session,
giving delegates the opportunity to speak to poster authors. An
extended abstract will be published in the conference papers to
provide a permanent record and point of contact. A pdf-format file
of your poster would also be welcome at a later stage to enable
display on the IIC web-site.

If you would like to present a poster, please send us your
provisional title and a 200*600 word summary of the poster content
by 14 December 2011. The choice of posters for display will be made
by 15 February 2012 and final texts will be required by 31 March
2012. Submit your abstract to the Vienna Congress Section of the IIC
website.

Call for Student Posters

IIC is delighted to announce that the 2012 IIC Congress will
continue the innovative Student Poster Session, first run as a part
of the 2010 Istanbul Congress.  The aim of this session is to
provide a peer-reviewed platform for research and work on
conservation projects being undertaken by students and recent
graduates. This is an opportunity for those who are starting out in
the conservation arena to take part in conservation's international
showcase.  Student Posters will be displayed prominently throughout
the meeting and, as with the main poster session, there will be a
programmed session giving delegates the opportunity to speak to
poster authors. A pdf-format file of your poster would also be
welcomed at a later stage to enable display on the IIC web-site.

We invite current students and recent graduates to submit proposals
for inclusion at the 23rd IIC Congress.  If you would like to
present a poster, please send us your provisional title and a
200-600 word summary of the poster content by 2 February 2012. The
choice of posters for display will be made by 31 March 2010 and
final texts / images will be required by 31 May 2012. Submit your
abstract to the special e-mail address given for this purpose on the
Istanbul Congress section of the IIC website:
