The World Archaeological Congress (WAC) is an international organization founded in 1986, and encourages open dialogue among all people concerned about the past, including scholars from under-represented parts of the world, First Nations people, and descendent communities whose pasts are told by archaeologists.

A wide variety of themes and sessions are proposed for this seventh conference edition, ranging from education, science, interpretation, protection, economic development, and conflict resolution. ICCROM staff and network will be participating.

For information on the various themes and sessions, and in order to submit an abstract for an individual contribution (deadline: 30 September), please visit the official conference website.
