06/25/2018



The Association of Academic Museums and Galleries (AAMG) and the International Council of Museums’ Committee (ICOM) for University Museums and Collections (UMAC) is holding a joint annual conference this year June 21-24 at University of Miami, US. About 400 participants from some 23 countries registered the conference.

 

The theme of this year’s joint conference is “Audacious ideas: university museums and collections as change-agents for a better world”. The program addresses how museum constituents are adopting new roles and adapting old ones, welcoming new constituencies while keeping current visitors, and enhancing our value as critical partners in higher education while promoting a more just, peaceful and healthy world.

 

QLM international collaboration coordinator Ms. Wenjia Qiu introduced the ways in which partnerships between universities and their museums can serve international students in her presentation “International Strategies:University Museums Facilitating Cultural Partnerships”. She also discussed a further collaboration with UMAC board members between QLM and UMAC. Apart from the international training program, UMAC and QLM are also working on a joint project for international personnel exchange for university museum professionals in Shanghai.
