We are looking for new, original, unpublished work, relevant to the Congress theme and the conservation profession.
About the theme: Ensembles: Conserving Interconnected Artworks, Artefacts and Collections
A significant proportion of the world’s cultural heritage comprises interconnected works or collections that gain increased value and significance when considered as a whole. These groupings, often referred to as ensembles, can be found in fine art, ethnographic or world collections, architectural complexes, archaeological sites, and many other forms of artistic and historical expression. The conservation of cultural heritage ensembles needs to consider not only the individual needs of each component, but also the relationship between multiple pieces and their historical significance. Approaching ensembles in this holistic manner, important insights are gained on the depth of cultural narratives, the evolution of artistic traditions, and the broader historical and social connections that these works represent.
Accepted papers will be published in the Congress Proceedings as a special digital supplement of Studies in Conservation with selected presernatations and posters featured in an interractive Congress platform.
Deadline for Paper & Poster Proposals: 27 June 2025
