SUMMARY:ICOM-CC Triennial Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Norwegian National Organizing Committee for ICOM-CC 2026 welcomes you to the 21st ICOM-CC Triennial Conference in Oslo 14-18 September 2026. The conference will be accompanied by a broad program of events\, before and after the conference\, at venues throughout Norway. \nConservators\, scientists\, curators\, and other museum professionals are invited to experience “the Norwegian Miracle” – a phrase coined by Swiss curator and art historian Hans Ulrich Obrist. “The Norwegian Miracle” describes the recent revisioning of the cultural landscape of Oslo. For more than a decade\, a significant investment has been made into institutions dedicated to art\, cultural heritage\, and conservation in Oslo. The capital of Norway has become a truly cultural destination. Several major initiatives in Norway’s museum sector have resulted in The Munch Museum which opened in 2021\, the National Museum in 2022\, and the new Museum of the Viking Age\, scheduled for completion in 2026. These exceptional new museum buildings are driving the production of new knowledge and helping to strengthen the conservation field. \nOslo is a compact venue where events\, social programs\, and accommodation can be planned within walking distance of each other\, allowing more time for conference activities\, and for conversations and meetings. \nThe theme for the 2026 triennial conference is: \nCultural Connections in Conservation. \nCultural connections touch upon the very reasons we conserve cultural heritage. Both societal and professional connections – as well as our links to the past and future – are vital to unlocking and supporting the cultural identities embodied in our material culture. As global changes and societal shifts continue\, it becomes increasingly important to understand\, respect\, and advocate for diverse voices and communities\, including Indigenous cultures. Adapting to new challenges\, forging new paths\, and fostering inclusive collaborations can align with our commitments to conserving our material heritage\, whether from the past or contemporary in origin. We must also acknowledge that one of the unintended consequences of conservation could be increased cultural distance. By integrating rigorous methods\, insightful perspectives\, and relevant technology in ethical and dynamic new ways\, we can ensure that conservation knowledge is accessible and impactful – both professionally and societally. \nJoining together in Oslo in September 2026\, we will have the opportunity to ask: \n\nHow can conservation establish new (and renew existing) professional connections to address global challenges?\nHow can conservation navigate temporal connections between the past\, present\, and future understandings\, and uses of material culture?\nHow can conservation help advocate for diversity and cross-cultural communication?\nHow can conservation help to bridge inter-generational cultural divides?

SUMMARY:Youth Heritage Days 2026
DESCRIPTION:Youth.Heritage.Europe. and Le Vie dei Tesori unite to bring Europe’s premier youth heritage event to the Mediterranean! \nYouth.Heritage.Europe. (Y.H.E.) and Le Vie dei Tesori are pleased to announce the 2026 edition of the Youth Heritage Days\, to be held in Palermo\, Sicily\, between 22-24 October 2026. Taking place in the framework of the European Heritage Hub\, the event will support the EU-funded platform’s mission to drive the green\, digital\, and social transformation of the European society through youth’s perspective.\n​\nAs Y.H.E.’s annual gathering\, the 2026 edition will be held in a hybrid format for the first time\,  bringing together young heritage professionals\, students\, researchers\, and representatives of cultural institutions and civil society from across Europe.​\n\nPalermo is one of the Mediterranean’s most layered cultural capitals — a city shaped by centuries of overlapping civilisations\, faiths\, and traditions. Its rich built heritage\, dynamic civil society\, and its renowned Le Vie dei Tesori Festival make it an ideal setting to explore youth engagement and  cultural heritage at the local\, regional\, and transnational levels. As a crossroads of cultures\, Palermo embodies the very questions the Youth Heritage Days 2026 seeks to address. \nThis year’s event explores three interconnected themes at the intersection of youth\, heritage\, and society: \n\nLocal Communities & Heritage: How can young people become active agents of local heritage and community development?\nCultural Tourism: How are young people shaping\, challenging\, and contributing to sustainable cultural tourism?\nThe Mediterranean: What are the specificities of youth heritage engagement in the Mediterranean\, and how do they connect to broader European contexts?\n\nThe programme unfolds across three days and combines round table discussions\, the launch of Youth Mapping Initiative\, an open public debate\, and cultural visits integrated into Palermo’s local heritage scene — including events linked to the Le Vie dei Tesori festival. \nAt this stage\, we are inviting young professionals\, students\, researchers\, and youth-led organisations to save the date and indicate their interest in attending Youth Heritage Days 2026 in person. \nOfficial registration will open soon. By completing the form below\, you can express your interest and be among the first to receive the early registration link and further updates about the programme: Event Expression of Interest: Youth Heritage Europe
