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)

Access conditions
There are two indisputable conditions for all participants:
1- wear a mask covering your mouth and nose - FFP2 masks are strongly recommended to all participants who are medically vulnerable
2- present a Covid Safe Ticket (or the European equivalent if you are not Belgian) at the registration desk on the morning when you arrive
> you can find the conditions for obtaining a valid CST on https://covidsafe.be/en/ 
 

Measures 

We will take various measures to increase safety: we will provide hydro-alcoholic gel dispensers; because of the exiguity of the storage, we will not be able to offer the behind-the-scenes guided tour of the Comics Art Museum storage to all participants: we will put a registration sheet for the tour at the registration desk (first come / first-served basis); during the lunch, we might divide the participants in two groups: one visiting the museum while the other is eating.
