IIC Congress 2012 - Call for posters - deadline extended to 29th February!

Secession House, Vienna

Planning for the 2012 IIC Congress in Vienna continues apace. One of the attractions will be a number of evening events, which will allow delegates to meet fellow conservation professionals socially; these are as essential a part of IIC Congresses as the programme of papers and posters. In addition, excursions are being planned to venues of special conservation interest as well as sites of more general heritage interest so that those attending can put their conservation into context.

A capital of cultural heritage awaits you…
Vienna lies at the heart of Europe on the mighty River Danube at the cross-roads of millennia of cultural traditions and of trade between East and West. Well known for its grand Baroque buildings and the later Jugendstil and Secession architecture, Vienna displays a wide and rich range of architectural styles and applied artistry, of paintings, drawings, metalwork, photography, sculpture and decorative artifacts in a variety of workshops and ateliers, galleries and museums. The home of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Schönberg and the Strauss family, the city is also the heart of a more intangible heritage of music, dance and theatre. Vienna is situated near other important European cultural centres – Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Brno, this proximity reflecting Vienna’s importance as a centre of Europe’s cultural network. The beautiful Danube Valley, with its vineyards and monasteries, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
