Deadline for abstract submittal: November 15, 2007
The 11th US/ICOMOS International Symposium will initiate a process
for implementing the recommendations of the PreserveAmerica Summit’s
“Participating in the Global Community” panel that will
reinvigorate and enhance the U.S. role in international preservation.
The Global Community panel made recommendations in four areas: community
building, stewardship, leadership, and capacity-building (more detailed
recommendations for these four areas are outlined below).
US/ICOMOS seeks abstracts that discuss innovative, successful programs
and partnerships involving collaboration in international preservation
within these four broad areas. US/ICOMOS is particularly interested
in receiving abstracts from the international community that discuss
the benefits received from collaboration with US preservationists,
organizations, and agencies in addition to abstracts from US preservationists
who have benefited from international collaboration in their work.
In addition to invited and selected papers to be presented at the
symposium, US/ICOMOS is initiating a series of panel discussions
amongst our members prior to the symposium, each of which will result
in draft recommendations, or action items, to be presented to the
full symposium in Washington, DC. The symposium will also include
break-out sessions for each panel that will allow conference attendees
to discuss and finalize the draft recommendations into final reports
that will be presented to the entire conference during the closing
session.
