Natural Sciences Collections Association

In 2011, it will be 10 years since the memorable Pest Odyssey conference at the British Library that inspired many of us to engage in the challenge of Insect Pest Management within the Heritage sector.

This international conference at the British Museum will be an opportunity for the profession to focus on developments that have need made in those 10 years, highlighting international priorities and how these have changed.

We are seeking papers on the Insect Pest Management themes:

• Preventive strategies and case studies
• Control strategies and treatments (pest, climate change and research)
• Innovative solutions and re-evaluation of existing treatments
• Training and awareness

 

Abstracts no longer then 400 words should be forwarded to Dee Lauder at dee.lauder@english-heritage.org,uk by September 1, 2010.  Successful authors will be notified  1^st October 2010. Completed papers will be required by 1^st February 2011 to ensure that post prints will be produced and mailed to participants by year end 2011.
