This full-day conference focuses on recent conservation research conducted in Belgium, such as PhD and Master Thesis work. The concept is to give both conservation professionals and students the space to dynamically present their research in tiny, 10-minute speeches. 

The day will include access to the museum and interactive session dedicated to meeting, posters and samples viewing. Conservation Talks provide attendees with the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience in a supportive atmosphere.

Date & Venue
February 17, 2022 
The Comics Art Museum, Rue des Sables 20 / Zandstraat 20 B-1000 Brussels
Accessible by train (10 min walk from Brussels Central Station)

Postponement Note

Despite all our efforts to organise a quality event with all the sanitary measures, we are unfortunately forced to postpone Conservation Talks 2021 on February 17, 2022. We haven't taken this decision with a light heart, but government restrictions and the current public health situation do not seem to give us another option. We believe that interpersonal exchanges and meetings are key points of Conservation Talks, and thus we don't want to replace it with an online version of the event. 

For Conservation Talks 2021's registrees - We offer you two options: either you stay registered and your ticket stays available for February 2022 or we can reimburse you. In this case, please let us know by the 1st of September that you wish to be reimbursed.
