[Nhcoll-l] Fwd: Reminder: 2024 conference call for papers WITH the attached call

[Chair NatSCA]

Apologies for cross posting!

*SAVE THE DATE* & *CALL FOR PAPERS*

The Annual Conference & AGM of the Natural Sciences Collections Association
will be held on *Thursday 18th and Friday 19th April 2024* in the Oxford
University Museum of Natural History, UK, and online. The first day will
include the AGM,
presentations, and lightning talks. The second day will include
presentations in the morning, followed by gallery and collection tours in
the afternoon.

*Trials and Triumphs: sharing practice across the museum sector*

*The #NatSCA2024 conference invites proposals* for presentations on a broad
range of themes. We seek ideas from the natural history collections
community, educators, collaborators, and beyond. We are interested in
practical lessons, unique solutions, new collaborations, and to show what
has and
hasn’t worked with projects.  We are looking for presentations that touch
on every aspect of museum operations, including audience engagement,
collections management practices, changing laws, social justice,
restitution and decolonisation, environmental issues, global challenges,
research and academic engagement.

This practical conference aims to celebrate triumphs and amplify successes
in museums, but also highlight the pitfalls and lessons learned from
situations that didn’t go as planned. We will prioritise papers that focus
on sharing ideas, tools, and guidance rather than simply reporting results.
We want to make this conference practical and useful, so please try to
reflect this in your abstract.

While we have a focus on natural science collections, we recognise that we
can learn from others in the wider museum sector, and we welcome
submissions from anyone who wishes to share techniques and ideas with
broader relevance and application.

Papers can be presented in any of several formats: A 20-minute presentation
(consisting of a 15-minute talk followed by 5 minutes of Q&A) or a 5-minute
lightning talk. Talks (both lightning and longer) can be presented in
person or by submission of a pre-recorded presentation, with the option of
an in-person or live stream Q&A (via Zoom).

*Deadline for submission: 5pm GMT Friday 19th January*

Please send the attached form to: conference at natsca.org

Thank you,

 The NatSCA 2024 Conference Committee
