Grants for IIC Congress

A range of grants is now available to assist practising conservation
professionals and students to attend the IIC 2016 Los Angeles
Congress.  The Congress is on the intriguing and challenging topic
of Saving the Now: Crossing Boundaries to Conserve Contemporary
Works and will take place from the 12-16 September 2016.

Please note that the deadline for application for all these grants
is 31 May 2016.

The Getty Foundation

    Thanks to the generosity of the Getty Foundation we are able to
    offer a limited number of grants to enable practising
    conservators to attend the Congress.  These grants are not
    available to students nor to recipients of other IIC-managed
    grants related to attendance at the IIC 2016 Congress.

    Application is open to individuals from any country not part of
    Western Europe, North America, Australasia or Japan, currently
    in employment in either a public or a private capacity.  For
    this Congress, applications are particularly welcomed from south
    and central America and the Caribbean.

The Brommelle Memorial fund:  Help for Student Members of IIC

    Applicants for these IIC grants are required to be enrolled in a
    full-time course of conservation training leading to a
    recognised academic qualification.  Students may apply for this
    funding at any time during their course of study, including
    their final year or internship.

    These grants are not available recipients of other IIC-managed
    grants related to attendance at the IIC 2016 Congress.  As the
    fund can offer only limited support, it is not expected that
    these grants will cover the whole costs of attending the
    Congress and recipients should obtain additional funding from
    elsewhere.

Tru Vue

    Thanks to the generosity of Tru Vue, we are able to offer
    several grants each of US$1,000 to assist practising
    conservators to attend the Congress.

    These grants are not available to students nor to recipients of
    other IIC-managed grants related to attendance at the IIC 2016
    Congress.  Application is open to individuals from any part of
    the world currently in employment in heritage conservation in
    either a public or a private capacity.

The Gabo Trust

    As with previous IIC Congresses, we are delighted to have the
    participation of the Gabo Trust in the 2016 Los Angeles
    Congress.  The theme of the 2016 Congress Saving the Now:
    Crossing Boundaries to Conserve Contemporary Works is
    particularly relevant to the work of the Gabo Trust.
