ICOM ICR International Committee for Regional Museums and ICOM ICTOP International Committee for Training of Personnel
October, 18th to 24th, 2009
Italy - Mantua and Val Trompia
Following the Strategic Plan of ICOM, the International Committee for Regional Museums (ICR) and the International Committee for Training of Personnel (ICTOP) will hold a joint annual conference with the support of ICOM Italy.
The organizers seek papers for the annual meeting to be held October, 18th to 24th, 2009, in Mantua and Val Trompia, Italy. The topic will be:
Staff and Training in Regional Museums
In every institution people are the key factor of success and the chosen topic is an important concern of every museum. A joint project was realized by ICOM France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and ICTOP and published on the ICTOP website http://ictop.alphahosting.org/ under the title Museum Professions - A European Frame of Reference in order to help museums to identify what qualifications are expected from professional staff.
"We want to take the European discussion on museum professions forward. At the same time, the national museum organisations must be encouraged to create and develop their own guidelines for activities in museums. These new frames of reference could provide guidance."
The recommendations are a valuable asset for regional museums and will serve as a starting point for discussions. Most regional museums are aware of the recommended standards; the present situation, however, in many regional museums is far from satisfactory. There are never enough employees or money for training.
This joint meeting is focussing on the following questions:
- What are the core competencies in museology?
- What kind of training is needed?
- What do staff development and human resource planning mean for museum work?
- How they can be organized?
- What kind of cooperation exists between universities and training organisations and museums?
- How can training be integrated in the museum's mission?
- Do new technologies open new models for training?
We are looking for papers dealing with these questions which can help us to find new solutions regarding the development of museum work. We want to improve the dialogue between theory and practice. We want to look for examples of good practice.
