This two-day event took place in the Centre de Recherche et Restauration des musées de France, within the Palais du Louvre. The Seminar was an opportunity for participants to meet senior EU officials and other special guests, and to hear their views on strategic issues relating to cultural heritage.
The two days were divided into three distinct themes: Business Meeting,
Working Groups and Guest Speakers. The Seminar commenced on Thursday 21st
September with an EMII Business Meeting restricted to partners. This was the
first time partners had been brought together to compare and exchange views and
experiences.
Partners guests joined us for lunch in Les cafes des
Pyramides within the Louvre. The afternoon started with a progress report from
Rosa Botterill, Standards Co-ordinator summarising the work to date and
providing a context for the Working Groups. The three working groups met for
two hours before re-convening in the lecture theatre to present a summary of
their conclusions and any outstanding issues.
Day one concluded in the
evening with the Seminar Dinner held at Le Ziryab, L'Institute du monde arabe. (Click here to see the photographs)
We were
joined by EMII guests on day two in addition to partners guests. The proceedings
commenced with an informative welcome by our host venue. This was followed by
Christina Brown, EMII Standards Assistant, who presented a paper 'What's in a
Survey? Interpreting the European Standards Survey'. This was the first time the
results and analysis of the survey had been presented to the EMII partners
collectively.
Jeanne Hogenboom, Netherlands partner and chair of Working Group 1:
Collections Management Standards in Europe, presented a summary of the
previous days Working Groups. Jeanne's comments provided a thoughtful
introduction to the programme of guest speakers.
The Seminar
formally concluded with a Lunch Reception to mark the first year of the EMII
network held at the Salon des Maréchaux, Palais Royal, Ministère
de la culture et de la communication. Participants were also able to join one of
three post seminar tours:
