Symposium Format
The Dublin symposium will be based on the Pretoria and Valletta models. Papers and poster presentations have been solicited through the Scientific Council listserv and National Committees. Paper abstracts and poster proposals have been blind peer-reviewed and the selection process is closed. Once the Editorial group has finalized its review of the authors’ full papers, they will be posted on the meeting web site.Of the 30+ papers submitted, six have been selected for presentation during the morning session of the Dublin symposium. Posters have been accepted according to available space and the blind peer-review process. The afternoon will be devoted to breakout sessions wherein working groups will be asked to reflect on a specific question and how it relates to their International Scientific Committee. The morning session will be open to the general public (up to the limit of the available seating), whereas the afternoon session will not. The breakout groups will return
for a final plenary session to present each group’s recommendations which will then be synthesized into formal recommendations to be distributed and published on the ICOMOS website in due course.
