Thursday-Friday 5-6 September 2013

The ICOM-CC Working Groups for 'Education and Training' and
'Preventive Conservation' are to hold their combined interim meeting
'Conservation Now' at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne on
Thursday-Friday 5-6 September 2013.

If you would like to present a paper at the meeting could you please
send a 200 word abstract by Friday 19 July 2013 to
jean.brown<-at->northumbria<.>ac<.>uk. Each speaker will be given twenty
minutes for their presentation.

The meeting should be of interest to conservation practitioners,
recent conservation graduates, conservation educators as well as
those who employ conservators.

The meeting seeks to understand the current and future demands on
conservation practice in order that conservation programmes can
maximise the employability of their graduates.

In advance of the meeting we have been gathering data on the
experiences of conservation graduates, the conservation programmes,
practising conservators as well as those employing conservators. The
data gathered will be presented at the interim meeting alongside
related papers.

Thank you if you have already completed the survey. If you have not
completed the survey there is still time so please let us know your
thoughts, which will make an invaluable contribution to the findings
of the meeting. All responses will remain confidential and secure.
Your input will be used to ensure that we continue to meet the needs
of professional practice. We appreciate your trust and look forward
to serving you in the future.
