Expression of Interest (EOI) invited: Securing the Next ICOMOS Generation: Transitioning the Advisory Committee
During the Advisory Committee meeting in 2020 a recommendation was passed to seek volunteers to shadow and support the work of the Advisory Committee Officers (ACOs) in driving the work of the ACOs and implementing the recommendation of the 2020 Advisory Committee meeting. The programme was launched during 2021, and has been immensely successful and helpful to the elected ACOs, enabling a great deal of work to be achieved, including the development of the 2021-24 Triennial Scientific Plan and the ICOMOS Carbon Reduction Strategy.
This initiative aims to: i) facilitate and encourage ICOMOS members to share, experience and support the role of the Advisory Committee and the work of the ACOs; ii) to share the lively debate and experience and iii) increase the pool of future candidates standing for election as ACOs; and iv) to help support and increase the efficiency of the work done by the Advisory Committee and ACOs.
We are now relaunching the call for volunteers, both to augment the original volunteers, and to match the volunteers to the new projects and activities in the AdCom Officers Work Plan 2024.
Assisting Advisory Committee Volunteers (AAVs) will be working directly with the ACOs to implement the current work plan which includes support to ICOMOS organisational and scientific coordination, and development. Assignments are varied and include- amongst others – the development of the Triennial Scientific Plan, working on the Sustainability and Communications Task Force, and liaison with ICOMOS Working Groups.
The next group of Advisory Committee Officers (ACOs) will be elected in 2024. If you are interested in joining the ACOs at work and learning about their activities before standing for election, the 2023/4 AAV cycle is your chance to get experience in advance of that election. The development of the next Triennial Scientific Plan is starting. The 2023 AdCom and GA meetings also generated a wide range of recommendations and resolutions that could inform our work.
Please circulate this call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) amongst your own committee(s), inviting your members to actively volunteer to support the work of the Advisory Committee. It is a great way to get to know the ICOMOS network, professionally rewarding and fun.
Application
The Assisting Advisory Committee Volunteer (AAV) EOIs should take the form of a brief email including a short description (250 words) about your professional background, any past roles with ICOMOS, other relevant experience and your particular spheres of interest. These will be matched as closely as possible to the work in hand.
Some Volunteers may be required for specific meetings only, whereas others may be invited to support ongoing projects, activities or programmes. Please indicate which you would prefer to be considered for.
Interested FULL ICOMOS members, should send (or resend if repeat volunteering) their EOI to: Deirdre Mc Dermott mcdermottde@gmail.com

CONFERENCE / SYMPOSIUM
International Festival of Luoghi Parlanti (Talking Places), The World in Florence | Hybrid | 21-23 November 2023, CEST
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the third edition of the International Festival of Luoghi Parlanti (Talking Places), The World in Florence, which will be held again this year in a hybrid format (in-person and remote), in Florence, from November 21st to 23rd, 2023.
The previous editions in 2021 and 2022 brought together over 140 speakers from 37 countries across 5 continents to share and compare their experiences and attend high-level interventions in the field of cultural and natural heritage.
Throughout our over thirty-year history, we have emphasized how cultural heritage is a powerful tool for uniting people worldwide and can strongly contribute to sustainable territorial development and peaceful coexistence. The issues of the contemporary world, such as the effects of climate change and war, make these activities of comparison more and more necessary, finding synergies between the world of theory and that of practice, in order to direct all activities towards more sustainable and ethical practices.
Therefore, Festival participants (universities, local administrations, cultural operators, and businesses) will be called upon to tell the story of their territories through a storytelling of their traditional knowledge and cultural, tangible, intangible, and natural heritage, making the Festival a place for exchanging and sharing good practices from all over the world, where they can interact with various categories of interlocutors.
We trust that you share the goals of the Festival and that you will want to participate and contribute to the knowledge and enhancement of your territory and its spirit. We invite you to download the participation call at www.theworldinflorence.com

WORKSHOPS / COURSES / EVENTS / EXHIBITIONS
NEW 2023 Sydney Talk Series – The Past and Future of the Binishell
In 1974 the Department of Public Works began a comprehensive program of new school buildings using a radical concrete dome technology pioneered by Italian architect Dr Dante Bini. In total 14 schools received Binishells or multi-shell complexes. The reinforced concrete thin-shell structure of the Binishells were lifted and shaped by air pressure in a 3 day construction period. The program included 18-metre diameter shells or shell complexes, generally used as libraries, and 36-metre diameter multipurpose centres, often used as gymnasiums. In 2021 three of the remaining Binishells were included on the NSW State Heritage Register. Alberto Pugnale, from The University of Melbourne will join us to talk about the book he co-authored; Architecture beyond the Cupola- Inventions and Designs of Dante Bini 2023. The book provides the first comprehensive overview on Dante Bini’s work and thoroughly explores Bini’s pneumatic constructions and the form-resistant Binishell through the decades. In this talk Alberto will present the original archival material and the extensive representations of Bini’s projects and constructions gathered in the book. Matt Devine, conservation architect and lecturer at University of Sydney, was a member of the team engaged in 2019 to assess the 10 Binishells remaining in NSW schools. Matt will provide an overview of the condition of the shells, the decisions around which shells to retain and how the subsequent listing of the Binishells was negotiated.
Time & Date: Tuesday 28th November 2023, 5.30pm for 6pm start Cost: Students $10, Members $15, Non-Members $20, all payable through Eventbrite Book here
Venue: NBRS Architecture, Level 2, 4 Glen Street, Milsons Point, 2061

Games for Collections an Introductory Guide | PhD Research Survey
Members may wish to contribute to this research:
My name is Sophia and I am reaching out as a PhD researcher with the University of South Australia, who is interested in gathering the perspectives of professionals within the Australian collections sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) on educational games.
My work revolves around creating an introductory ‘how-to’ guide for educational game development for and by Australian collections institutions, with a strong industry-facing focus. This guide will incorporate considerations of time, technical ability, and cost, and seeks to promote the development of more games for learning within the Australian sector.
I am currently recruiting participants for a study into professional perspectives on games and their use as educational tools in collections, as well as gathering input on what would be useful to include into said ‘introductory’ guide.
If you have 5 minutes to spare, and work or volunteer in any capacity at an Australian collection (including in research), please consider contributing your perspectives to this work through the following survey:
https://unisasurveys.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3PmQG3LZ81rX1NI
If you would like to know more about my research or how your collection could be involved, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me through my project website or LinkedIn.
If you have specific experience making a game for a museum (it doesn’t have to be educational!) and have time for a short interview, you could also consider contributing to Nellie Seale’s research at the University of Melbourne.
