INVITATION TO HOST THE INMP CONFERENCE IN 2029
Applications are invited from interested museums, institutions, universities and cities to host the 13th conference of the International Network of Museums for Peace, in 2029.
A proposal form is available below, in which you will be asked to indicate the scale of event you could organise and host, the likely costs for participants, the potential for including participants from non-OECD countries, and other relevant issues.
INMP would promote the conference and give it a high profile, providing great encouragement to members, and to those in related networks, to participate in this conference. All financial considerations and budgets would be the responsibility of the host body.
A regular 3-yearly cycle of international conferences is key to the essential networking of INMP, its members and supporters. It gives an opportunity for peace, history and museum professionals, volunteers, academics and activists from a local region and around the world to make presentations, share ideas and network with each other. It can enrich the life of the host community and enhance its own witness for peace.
The 11th conference, in Uppsala, Sweden in 2023, attracted around 150 participants.
The forthcoming 12th conference will be hosted by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Winnipeg, 12-14 August 2026 (with extensions to 16 August); the successful applicant will be invited to attend this 12th conference.
Reports of previous conferences can be seen at https://inmp.net/Conference.aspx.
