Call for posters--IIC Congress

Call for Student Posters
International Institute for the Conservation of Historic and
    Artistic Works

IIC is delighted to announce that the 2016 IIC Congress will host
its fourth Student Poster Session, which will give students and
recent graduates the opportunity to communicate their projects in a
special section of the congress poster display.  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 field 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 website.

We invite current students and recent graduates to submit proposals
for inclusion at the 26th IIC Congress.  Proposals can be on any
topic and are not required to follow the conference theme.  If you
would like to present a poster, please send your provisional title
and a 300-500 word summary of the content and at least one image by
15 January 2016.  All submissions must be in English.  The choice of
posters for display will be made by 11 March 2016 and final
texts/images will be required by 1 July 2016.  Abstracts should be
submitted to: students<-at->iiconservation<.>org

Arguably one of the great creative cities of the world, Los Angeles
is the location for the 2016 IIC Congress, organized in
collaboration with INCCA, the International Network for the
Conservation of Contemporary Art, Saving the Now: Crossing
Boundaries to Conserve Contemporary Works.  Reflecting one aspect of
the rich and varied history of the city's architectural styles, the
congress will be held at the historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel,
situated in the center of the vibrant downtown and arts district.
IIC and INCCA, international organizations with members worldwide,
are coming together to offer opportunities for conservators of
contemporary culture to engage with the stimulating and sometimes
demanding issues that may be encountered while considering and
working with ethics, values and conservation approaches from a
variety of cultures, disciplines and geographical regions.
