We would like the first case conference to be held in Budapest 15-20 April 2022. Our goal is to tell you about the history of world museums, how they became national and according to what principles were the national collections formed.

• Standards of museum activity
• Museum as a multi-level communication space

• New technologies of museum activity

Abstract submission

The language of the conference is English.

Report in plenary meeting - up to 20 minutes; report at the sectional meeting - up to 15 minutes; speeches in the debate on the reports - up to 10 minutes.

The chairman of the session has the right to interrupt the speaker's speech, which did not keep within the time allotted by the regulations. Part of the listeners will be students, not all of whom easily perceive a complex information by ear. Therefore, the rapporteurs are advised to prepare handouts or slides (for example, charts, diagrams and graphs) for the items requiring intense attention, that can be demonstrated on the screen. This will save time for the speakers and listeners. The participants shall inform the chairman of the session about the presence of such materials before the start of the meeting in order to properly organise their distribution or display. In more detail, the order of the meetings and their sequence will be determined in the programme of the event.

Reports should be sent by email as a Word attachment to qwerty@mail.com by 10 November 2021. Please include your name, affiliation, email address and paper title in the body of the email. Notification of acceptance decisions will be communicated via email by 15 February 2022.
