Thursday 9-10.30: How to Disseminate and Make Museum Research More Visible
During the last couple of years, more focus has been put on how results of museum research can be better utilized and disseminated. Which channels of communication should be used, if the research is to benefit others than the museums themselves? And what role does collaboration with other parties, including the universities, play in this connection? These questions and others focusing on the value of museum research and impact will be discussed in the session.
Thursday 10.55-12.30: Enhancing skills and retaining knowledge in the museums
This session will follow up on the transition period from 2013-17, where there has been a focus on enhancing and upgrading the research skills of museum employees.
