2024 Amsterdam
Sustainable Connections: Building Knowledge Networks
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands November 11-15
Everything is connected. Stories that museum collections tell, connect people with ideas and events across the globe. Research and documentation practices are increasingly collaborations between institutions, communities, and other stakeholders. Now, more than ever, networks of knowledge are built in the digital space too. Sustainable connections is, therefore, the CIDOC’s 2024 conference topic, hosted at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, from 11-15 November 2024.
Sustainable Connections: Building Knowledge Networks underscores the pivotal role of connectivity and collaboration in advancing museum documentation and knowledge sharing.
This conference explores efforts to facilitate the (re)use of collections information – ranging in scope, content, geography and theme – and embrace the lessons learned from developing social, analogue or digital knowledge networks, in order to inspire, expand and connect this work.
