The Symposium and Workshop have very successfully concluded.  The organizers express gratitude to the local organizing committee and to presenters and participants who all contributed to making these events such a success.

Over the next few weeks we will be replacing the planning and registration pages of this website with abstracts and posters presented.  Papers based on presentations are being solicited for a special issue of the journal Collections to be published in the late spring or early summer of 2012.

We invite presenters, participants and interested followers to sign up to our forum to ensure they receive updates.

Best wishes,

Mena and Rob

The special issue of the journal Collections dedicated to papers from the International Symposium and Conference on Cultural Property Risk Analysis is in final editing and layout stages.  We are hoping for delivery in time for Christmas!
