INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF THE PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY CENTRE INTERNATIONAL D’ETUDES POUR LA CONSERVATION ET LA RESTAURATION DES BIENS CULTURELS Ref.DG/2021/WN/cpo-ph Rome, 26 February 2021 FF: MS Excellency, I have the honour to invite you and any interested members of your staff to the first Member State Information Meeting that will be held on Thursday, March 18 2021 at 2.00pm, Rome (Italy) time. The project emanates from the desire of ICCROM to keep its Member States informed with its current activities. This has also been expressed by some of the embassies in Rome. It aims to reach a broad range audience of the ICCROM Member States embassies/Permanent Missions who are interested in the work of ICCROM particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the most important challenges of recent times. ICCROM is committed to enhancing a sustainable cultural heritage integrated model in times of uncertainty. Throughout the past year, everyone has tried to respond creatively to the challenge, sometimes looking for a new niche. In this context, ICCROM is adapting to a new reality with different perspectives, always with the aim of continuing to serve its Member States and partners by using new means and tools and by welcoming innovative ideas and suggestions. To facilitate preparations, a registration form for the virtual Zoom meeting should be completed by Monday 15 March 2021. The first meeting will be held in English. I trust that you will appreciate this initiative, which should contribute to increase more awareness on cultural heritage, on its prevention and response efforts, and an opportunity to share key lessons and to increase multilateral and bilateral relations. Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
