ICOM-CC session at ICOM General Conference, Rio de Janeiro, August 10-17, 2013
 
 The Committee for Conservation of the International Council of Museums
(ICOM-CC) will hold a one-day lecture session during ICOM's General Conference
in Rio de Janeiro.  Updated information about the program, registration, and
hotels is available on the conference website: http://rio2013.icom.museum
 
 The theme of ICOM-CC's session is The "value" of conservation in the
twenty-first century
 
 Conservation departments in museums, government ministries, and universities
are everywhere under scrutiny by administrators seeking to cut costs by
reducing, reorganizing, or completely eliminating them.  This session will
focus on the value of conservation to society-how it is perceived and measured
and how conservation professionals can influence the public perception of
conservation through their actions and through better communication.  Papers
(up to 20 minutes) are sought which explore this topic by addressing the
following questions:


 -What is the perceived value of conservation to society?
 

-What effect does the conservation of cultural heritage have on society at
large?
 

-What standards or benchmarks can be used to measure the value of conservation
to society?
 

-How much are governments/the public willing to spend on the conservation of
cultural heritage and why?  

-What can conservation professionals do to increase investment in the
conservation of cultural heritage?
 

-In what ways can conservation professionals affect the perceived value of
conservation through communication with our peers and/or public outreach?

-How can conservation research assist in better understanding the value of
conservation?
 
 The session will be conducted in English.  The possibility of simultaneous
translation into Portuguese is being investigated.
 
 Museum professionals, including but not limited to those working in
conservation, are invited to submit abstracts of up to 200 words related to the
theme to Joan Reifsnyder, Secretary, ICOM-CC (secretariat at icom-cc.org) by March
15.  Submissions should include a title, author(s), institutional affiliation,
corresponding author's email address, and 200-word abstract in English.
 
 A panel consisting of ICOM-CC Chair Lisa Pilosi, Vice-Chair Vinod Daniel, and
Directory Board member Johanna Maria Theile will select papers for presentation
by the author(s) at ICOM-CC's session in Rio.  Authors will be notified by
April 30.  Selected abstracts will be posted on the ICOM-CC website.
 
 In addition to the lecture session, ICOM-CC is planning visits to conservation
laboratories as well as other activities.  Updated information about these
activities will be posted on the ICOM-CC website: www.icom-cc.org.
