Dear Madame, Sir,
The Conservation Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM-CC) is now calling for abstracts of papers and posters to contribute to its Triennial Meeting, which will be held from 22 to 26 September 2008 in New Delhi, India. This call is the first step in a process that will lead to the production of Preprints, available at the Meeting, that will contain around 150 peer-reviewed full papers and an estimated 20 to 30 extended poster abstracts.

All information and documents relevant to the production of papers and posters for the Meeting in New Delhi are available at the website of ICOM-CC at http://icom-cc.icom.museum/TriennialMeetings

Until now, 14 ICOM-CC Triennial Meetings have been organised, yet it will be the first time that such an event will be held in the culturally rich Asian continent. There is no doubt that this meeting will play an important role in the networking and sharing of information and ideas between Asian cultural heritage professionals and the ICOM-CC membership. It will also be a unique opportunity for India and other Asian countries to share their conservation and cultural heritage expertise with the rest of the world.  

ICOM-CC, with around 1500 members from every specialty of the museum and conservation profession, is the largest international committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). ICOM-CC aims to promote the conservation, investigation and analysis of culturally and historically significant works and to further the goals of the conservation profession. ICOM-CC is made up of 23 specialist Working Groups, which actively communicate with their members through newsletters, interim meetings and at the Triennial Meeting. The Triennial Meeting brings members of ICOM-CC and other relevant professionals together to report and to review current research. Over 1000 papers have been published in the Meeting's Pre-prints in the past twenty years. Normally, an ICOM-CC meeting is attended by between 600 and 1000 participants. 

Jan Wouters, Chair, ICOM-CC
