On 19 March 2027, the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) is hosting a day dedicated to heritage professionals, featuring lectures, studio visits and opportunities for discussion.
Conservator-restorers and colleagues from other KIK-IRPA departments will present recent case studies from our conservation studios. They will cover the treatments themselves, the analyses that informed key decisions, as well as the dilemmas and ethical considerations encountered along the way.
Studio visits will offer a unique behind-the-scenes look at our work. Dedicated discussion sessions will provide opportunities to share experiences and compare approaches with colleagues from across the sector. You will also have the chance to contribute to the development of training courses currently being prepared by KIK-IRPA.
A day to gain new knowledge, make valuable connections and discover fresh ideas!
Conservation Day is aimed at conservator-restorers, museum curators, collection managers, students and heritage researchers.
Save the date: 19 March 2027! The programme and registration details will follow soon.

Study day: Heritage in Conflict
The current geopolitical context makes it clear that protecting cultural heritage in times of armed conflict is not a theoretical exercise, but an imminent reality. With the study day “Heritage in Conflict”, the University of Antwerp, Blue Shield Belgium, FARO, KU Leuven, the Royal Military Academy and KIK-IRPA aim to initiate an intersectoral dialogue between heritage professionals, military personnel and policymakers.
