I would like to remind you the deadline of 27th September 2019 for symposia and workshops submission for the upcoming conference jointly organized by SPNHC and ICOM.

The topic of the conference "The role of natural history collections in global challenges" is highly relevant to our community in very many different aspects of our work and we would like to encourage you to participate actively in that meeting!

CETAF working groups' activity together with the work developed under EU funded DiSSCo linked projects may frame our possible particupation and our community may then find in this conference in Edinburgh a very important place to voice and reach out our achievements as well as to discuss ongoing developments and challenges with peers and other interested parties.

Please do not hesitate to ask us for any help or support you may need.

The joint meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) and the International Council of Museums Committee for Museums and Collections of Natural History (ICOM NATHIST) will take place from the 7th – 13th June 2020 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. The theme for the meeting is ‘The Role of Natural History Collections in Global Challenges’
