The importance of caring for collections, as priority versus conservation of individual objects, is obvious. This international conference aims to gather the specialists involved in preventive conservation. Special emphasis will be given to contributions presenting problems that Eastern and South Eastern Europe countries are facing in this field, the solutions they envisaged and the results they reached in preventive conservation. The event will offer the opportunity for a round table discussion on this issue. Professionals from all over the world are kindly invited to share their experience with the specialist of the region.
Call is launched for papers and posters on topics related to the title: agents of deterioration and treatment possibilities, collections on storage, display and in transit, risk assessment and mitigation, disaster planning, international activities in PC (conferences, training possibilities), European research projects in PC etc.
Abstracts of 300-500 words in English should be submitted to Marta Guttmann ([log in to unmask]) before July 2, 2007. Submitting of full papers afterwards is optional.

We kindly remind you that in 2007 the city of Sibiu - together with Luxembourg - is the Cultural Capital of Europe. This might be an extra reason for you to join our conference.
