The congress programme is being created in collaboration by a group of experts from 34 organisations

together during the EU project Inside Installations (2004-2007). For more information about PRACTICs

be a call for posters. This is expected to be sent out in September 2009.

networking sessions. The themes for the three day congress are as follows:
Day 1: Acquisition: production and collection building
