ICCROM Forum on Conservation science
The Forum is an international meeting at which the latest thinking on a broad conservation theme is shared. ICCROM has as one of its statutory functions to co-ordinate and stimulate research on the scientific, technical and ethical issues relating to cultural conservation. One aim of the Forum is to have ICCROM recognized as one of the leading centres for the most advanced thinking about such issues.
The proposed theme of the ICCROM Forum 2012-2013 is Conservation Science. The event will be collectively steered and funded by an international consortium of institutional partners. Partner institutions and the details of the Forum implementation are still being discussed. Further updates will be posted here.
The Forum will serve as a platform for scientists and other conservation professionals to discuss and share their experience about the current role of science in conservation, its strengths and weaknesses, and future opportunities and threats. It will also highlight the benefits of improving communication, scientific and conservation literacy, and interdisciplinary research in conservation.
Through this critical analysis and reflection, the Forum will provide strategic orientations for future planning and policy making, create leverage for research funding and new collaborative ventures, promote greater inclusivity and ensure more effective integration between science and conservation practice.

- 2007. Privatization and cultural heritage
