Once again it has been proved that good co- operation brings results and the joint work of the ICR and ICTOP backed up by the ICOM Italy followed the spirit of ICOM in full sense of the meaning. Therefore, it was not a surprise to see the General Director of ICOM, Mr Julien Anfruns, giving his support to the meeting by personally addressing the participants. ICR also prepared an exhibition of sketches done by member Geir Helgen which contributed to the friendly feeling of the conference. Italian hosts did their best to create a homely atmosphere and we are really thankful to ICR Board member Alberto Garlandini who is also the Director for Cultural Affairs of the Lom- bardy region and his colleagues for being “a driving wheel” of organisation. Many thanks go to Stefano Benetti, the Director of Museo della Città di Mantova, and his staff and to the local authorities of Mantova, Revere and Montana The conference group in front of the Museo il Forno (historic blast furnace) in Tavernole sul Mella di Valle Trompia. do we need and how lifelong learning is vital Many experts attended the conference and for the quality of work in museums.

  • PDF ICOM and WIPO to Join Forces in Cultural Heritage
    PRESS RELEASE Paris, 3 May 2011: ICOM and WIPO to join forces in Cultural Heritage and Museum Fields The International Council of Museums (ICOM) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) are set to collaborate on the management of intellectual property issues, and on a mediation programme for the settlement of disputes in the area of cultural heritage and museums. This collaboration will address, in particular, copyright issues, traditional cultural knowledge and expression, and the digitization of cultural heritage. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the heads of both organisations at WIPO in Geneva on 3 May, 2011. Museums can be involved in various types of disputes including returns and restitutions, intellectual property rights, custodianship and the ownership of objects in their collections. ICOM, together with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, is launching a dedicated mediation process for the resolution of these types of disputes. Specific ICOM-WIPO Mediation Rules have been developed and parties may choose from a joint list comprising mediators with experience in cultural heritage and related areas. The mediation mechanism is expected to be operational in June. ICOM is highly involved in promoting the restitution of illicitly acquired cultural property. The organisation is committed to supporting museums in achieving this goal, in accordance with the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums, and also its international public service mission to fight illicit traffic in cultural property. The concept of a Mediation Project for art and cultural heritage was etched in 2006 by ICOM. Dr Hans-Martin Hinz, ICOM President, and Mr Julien Anfruns, ICOM Director General, signed the Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of ICOM.
