International Summer School 2020
Sustaining Cultural Heritage Through Preventive Conservation
and Collection Care
14-18 September 2020, 10:30-13:30 (CET), on Zoom
The Institute of Conservation
organises an online Summer School with all its international partners from India to Mongolia to open a platform of academic
exchange, which also works without travelling. In the five-days lectures series, the Institute’s team and other experts present
principles and up to date topics of preventive conservation and collection care. Just to name a few examples: Gael de Guichen
gives a global perspective on the reorganization of museum storages, José Luiz Pedersoli Jr. talks about myths and taboos
in risk perception in preventive conservation, Stefan Simon shares his thoughts about the green museum, and Caitlin Southwick
goes deeper into the topic of sustainability in conservation. If you also want to participate in this online programme, please
