Call for Papers for the ICOM-CC 14th Triennial Meeting
The Hague, The Netherlands, September 10-16, 2005

In preparation for the upcoming ICOM-CC 14th Triennial Meeting, ICOM-CC is
now calling for papers and posters. We shall continue to publish the
Preprints in the usual two-volume format of approximately 150 papers and
on CD. The process for selecting papers and posters has changed somewhat
from that used in 2002. PLEASE TAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF THE NEW PROCEDURE AS
FOLLOWS.

Each author should request an abstract template from our website, www.icom-
cc.icom.museum or from the ICOM-CC Secretariat [log in to unmask]
The abstract template consists of a 1000 word description of the proposed
paper or poster and must include the title, author and co-author’s names,
addresses and e-mail addresses. It is important to note that, while the
initial abstract must be in English or French, the final paper can also be
in Spanish. Please indicate clearly which language you will use for the
final paper.

The objective of the Triennial Meeting is to present an overview of the
current state of conservation research and practice through reports by
ICOM-CC Working Groups. Special attention will be given to problems and
progress in conservation in the region hosting the meeting.

The papers and posters will be selected based on quality, originality,
importance and relevance.

The abstracts will be reviewed according to the following criteria:

- Relevance to the Working Group’s aim and triennial program
- Increasing Knowledge Base of Specialization
- Usefulness for the field
- Relevance to the Plenary Session Theme "Our Cultural Past - Your Future"
- Demonstrating Collaboration between Disciplines

Completed abstract templates are to be sent to the appropriate Working
Group coordinator no later than April 15, 2004. Contact information for
Coordinators and the abstract template may be obtained from our website,
www.icom-cc.icom.museum or from the ICOM-CC secretariat at
[log in to unmask] The Coordinators and the Peer Review Committee
will rank the abstracts and the Editorial Committee will make their
selection by June 15, 2004. Authors whose abstracts have been chosen will
then be invited to submit a full paper or poster and will receive
the ‘Instructions to Authors’.

Full papers must reach the Working Group Coordinators by November 8, 2004.
The Coordinators will collaborate with the authors on the finalisation of
the papers/posters, rank them and forward them to the Peer Review
Committee. Final selection of the papers will be made by the Editorial
Committee based on the rankings of the Coordinators and Peer Review
Committee in March 2005 and authors will be notified immediately
afterward. Submission of a full paper does not guarantee acceptance. In
the event of space limitations, ICOM members are given priority in the
final selection of papers of equal quality.
