This academic conference, organised by the University of Glasgow and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network NACCA / New Approaches in the Conservation of Contemporary Art, brings together international experts in the field to consider the practical and theoretical issues central to caring for the future of contemporary artworks.
