Hello INCCA Community,

The Call for participation for the 3rd edition of INCCA Café: Student & Early Career Research is still open! In this edition, we will focus on the outdoors. Topics could range from contemporary sculptures, land art or outdoor and onsite treatments for example, but should focus on the conservation of contemporary art. All research projects are welcome, including PhDs, masters, or case studies completed during a work placement/internship. Presentations should focus on technical research and analysis, treatment examples, ageing studies and case studies focusing on specific conservation materials, such as adhesives or retouching materials. Presentations can be in any format.

We hope this Café will provide a platform for early career conservators to meet new INCCA members and other professionals in their field, and get more involved with INCCA in the future. Presenting your project could lead to exciting collaboration opportunities or even to a subsequent individual INCCA talk. Send your participation request to info@incca.org by 28th July 2024, including your presentation topic/abstract, a short bio (up to 200 words) and 1-2 project images with credits.

All the best,

INCCA Steering Committee
