The Slovenian Society for Conservation-Restoration, E.C.C.O. full member organisation, announced its upcoming 26th International Meeting of Conservators-Restorers, which will take place on 25 May 2026, at the Posavje Museum Brežice in Slovenia. This established professional meeting offers a valuable platform for exchange within the conservation-restoration field, bringing together practitioners, researchers, and educators to present recent work and studies.
Call for contributions
Conservators-restorers, academic staff, scientists, researchers, students, and other professionals involved in conservation-restoration practice are invited to present their work through posters, short films, and selected poster presentations. A public poster exhibition will accompany the meeting, extending the visibility of the contributions beyond the professional audience.
The conference will be held in Slovene, with English summaries available for non-Slovene speakers. A book of abstracts containing all accepted contributions will be presented at the meeting, and each registered participant will receive a copy as part of the registration fee.
Interested contributors are invited to submit an application form, a written summary, a short abstract in English, and up to three photographs by by email to strok.srecanje@gmail.com until 19 February 2026. Submissions may be written in Slovene, English, Croatian, or Serbian and will be reviewed by the meeting’s editorial board.
