Este año el tema central del encuentro es la CONSERVACIÓN PREVENTIVA Y RESTAURACIÓN EN COLECCIONES DE CIENCIAS NATURALES.

En la preservación del patrimonio de colecciones de ciencias naturales son importantes muchos aspectos: el inventario, el catálogo, la investigación, la difusión y, por supuesto, la conservación preventiva y la restauración. Los responsables de colecciones no saben de antemano en qué momento los especímenes serán estudiados, consultados o expuestos, y puede ser a corto, medio o largo plazo. Cuando llegue ese momento será imprescindible que los especímenes estén en el mejor estado de conservación posible y puedan cumplir la función para la que se solicitan. Por todo ello la aplicación de la conservación preventiva al fondo patrimonial es el camino principal para que el museo alcance uno de sus objetivos principales: la conservación de un patrimonio a largo plazo.

El encuentro contará con 12 ponencias de especialistas y más de 85 asistentes inscritos. Una de las conferencias invitadas resume un trabajo del GI CERVITRUM del Instituto de Historia del CSIC y será impartida por la Dra. M.A. Villegas.

El encuentro se realizará de forma virtual, es necesario inscribirse previamente enviando un correo a Eulalia García Franquesa egarciafr@bcn.cat 
Fecha límite, viernes 12 de febrero.

Cities, Climate and Culture: The Urban Research Agenda in the Upcoming IPCC Co-Sponsored Expert Meeting on Culture, Heritage and Climate Change, 13rd Oct 14:00 – 15:30 UTC+2

In the summer of 2020, the IPCC Executive Committee endorsed a proposal for a co-sponsored International Expert Meeting on Culture, Heritage and Climate Change to be organized by UNESCO and ICOMOS, with IUCN and ICLEI among the key partners to be held in 2021.

One of the specific aims of the Meeting is to take stock of methods and gaps in translating knowledge from and about culture and heritage for climate science and policy, with the goal of stimulating new approaches and literature that will support the AR7 and the forthcoming special report Cities and Climate Change.

The Scientific Steering Committee for this Meeting is being convened in September. This event will be the first opportunity to present in detail the scientific questions and timeline for this meeting with an emphasis on the intersection between these and the IPCC Cities Research Agenda.

Conference «Critical heritage studies and the future of Europe», 15-16th October 2020 (on-line)

The international conference “Critical heritage studies and the future of Europe” will mark the CHEurope project’s conclusion and allow the presentation to the wider scientific community of the results obtained during more than 4 years of collaborative research.

The 15 Early Stage Researchers funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, the members of the academic staffs having supervised the training and research activities, as well as various highly renowned international keynote speakers will offer a renewed vision of the place that cultural heritage occupies in our societies and the role it can play in its future developments. A perspective whose topicality has suddenly and dramatically been highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic. From migrations to climate change, from the heritagization of the urban to digitality as a vector of communication and transmission of cultural heritage, and from the use of heritage as a therapy for improving psychological resilience and well-being to the interconnections between heritage, citizenship, policy, participation, politics and economy, the conference’s program explores the multiple ontologies through which cultural heritage redraws the future of Europe and the world.

The conference will take place during 2 days, on the 15th and 16th October 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent funding and travel restrictions, it has been decided to hold the conference as a fully online Zoom webinar, freely accessible within the limits of available accounts.
