A strategic think tank meeting
about the relevance & impact of conservation science
3. Why a Forum on Conservation Science?
These are critical times for heritage conservation
Increased challenges
global threats to heritage
increasing needs worldwide
fewer resources
Increased opportunities
through science skills, tools, and knowledge
How can we use science innovation
to protect cultural heritage?

15. Inspiring Keynotes
Voices from outside cultural heritage conservation
“A society centered approach means
bringing citizens into the scientific process in
a more meaningful way to achieve the
engagement of society. It is not just science
for society, but society for science.”
Lidia Brito
Director of Division
Science Policy and
Capacity-Building
UNESCO
16. Inspiring Keynotes
Voices from outside cultural heritage conservation
Johan Kuylenstierna
Executive Director
Stockholm
Environmental
Institute
“if you don’t see the impact it is very
hard to get people engaged.
…the Climate and Clean Air Coalition
was successful because it was not
just about climate but also human
health, agriculture – and suddenly
governments were buying into it
because they saw numbers that
made sense to them”
17. Inspiring Keynotes
Voices from outside cultural heritage conservation
Lynne Meskell,
Stanford University
“we need the full integration of
archaeological science, the insights
of social science, a strong
commitment to conservation and
also local community involvement.
Today such a position should be
thought of as neither revolutionary
or a luxury but a baseline for all
projects”
