Call for Papers
Icon Scotland Group session
Icon Conference 2016

Session theme:

    "We can be (conservation) heroes: Demonstrating flexibility,
    innovation and collaboration"

The Icon Scotland Group seeks abstracts of short papers for a
half-day session at ICON's UK conference.  The session aims to
showcase projects, initiatives and ways of working that demonstrate
flexible, innovative and collaborative approaches to conservation
across disciplines.  Presentations from and about Scotland are
encouraged and will be given priority at the selection stage; note
you do not need to be a member of the Scotland Group to submit an
abstract.Presentations are invited which address the following
themes, using examples of good practice in recent projects as well
as reflections from personal experience:

    Conservation as a driver of economic development, health and
    well-being.  This could include projects promoting
    sustainability and the "green" agenda, making effective use of
    limited resources, using volunteers or engaging with local
    communities

    Conservators' role in collaboration and cross-disciplinary
    working.  This could be work with the buildings or natural
    environment sector, an international project, a project with
    academic partners or any other innovative or novel partnership

    Conservators confidently adapting to current conditions and
    demonstrating flexibility: change management, commissioning
    conservation, outsourcing, the rise of freelancing, the need for
    new specialists, generalists and project managers

Successful presentations will be concise, punchy and engaging -
lasting around 15 minutes with a further 5 minutes allocated for
questions.

Abstracts should be 150 words and include title, names, addresses
and email addresses of all authors and indicate author for
correspondence.  Abstracts should be emailed to
conferenceisg<-at->gmail<.>com by 31 October 2015.
