Established in 1978, IIC’s Austrian section began to work in 1979. Currently the section counts c. 240 members. IIC Austria is a non-profit organization which serves to promote conservation in all disciplines: the built heritage, museums, academies and free-lancing.
Our activities involve:
• the publication of “Restauratorenblätter”, IIC Austria’s annual journal
• organization of the Annual General Meeting.
• organization of lectures and talks
• promotion of all relevant conservation disciplines to internationally recognized standards
• to advance international contacts within the profession
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the IIC Austria a symposium will be held on September the ninth in Vienna. The symposium will take place at the former University of Economics which currently houses the Academy of fine Arts Vienna. The symposium aims to open up a dialogue between generations as well as the different disciplines in conservation and restoration for further details please see the attached programme.
