Krems Convention aims to define what sort of further education is needed for the best possible safeguarding of our written heritage, in terms of both teaching material and the methods of its delivery. The Convention will place special focus on some of the topics, such as interdisciplinary education, economic aspects and future challenges (to be covered by oral contributions) with subsequent public discussion of these subjects and preparing a written paper. It will provide reference to other conventions and codes already formulating the need for further education in conservation/restoration of written heritage and other related fields without, however, limiting its scope to any specific proposed activities.
