Textile Group: AGM and Graduate Research Exchange

Showcasing graduate research in textile conservation

The Icon Textile Group AGM will be held online on June 19th 2024, with a Graduate Research Exchange taking place during the meeting. The session aims to provide a platform to share valuable research, and to connect students and graduates with the wide community of people interested in the conservation of textiles.

We are seeking submissions from final-year students, and graduates who have completed their studies in the last two years to share their dissertation research on any topic relevant to the care and conservation of textiles. This call is open to members and non-members of Icon. Presentations should last approximately 10 minutes, and will be followed by a joint Q&A.

To apply please send the following information to [email protected]:
• Your name
• Programme information: institution, course title and graduation date
• Research title
• Abstract of your presentation, up to 250 words

The deadline for submissions is Monday 20th May.

All presenters should ensure they have appropriate permissions from copyright holders, and a recording of the event will be uploaded to the Icon YouTube channel in the months after the AGM.

Details of last year’s presentations can be found in the Textile Group past events page: https://www.icon.org.uk/groups-and-networks/textiles/past-events.html

Please email [email protected] with any questions.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
