In preparation of the 27th ICOM General Conference in Dubai, that will be held in November 2025, ICOM is excited to announce that the Call for applications to join the ICOM Resolutions Committee has been launched on 11 October 2024.

This Committee plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the museum sector by guiding the drafting and adoption of the ICOM Resolutions.

About the ICOM Resolutions Committee

The Resolutions Committee will oversee the ICOM Resolutions procedure by reviewing, consolidating, and presenting the Resolutions identified by ICOM Bodies as particularly relevant to the global museum community.

It is also the guarantor of the Resolutions, since it shall ensure that each Resolution aligns with ICOM’s statutory and regulatory texts, Strategic Plan, and missions. These Resolutions will serve as key documents for the next three years after their adoption, embodying ICOM’s major orientations and policies, addressing current challenges, promoting international best practices, and reflecting the theme of the upcoming 27th General Conference “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities”.

Who Can Apply?

ICOM Members in good standing with expertise in key themes relevant to the upcoming General Conference are highly encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome ICOM Members with knowledge in areas such as intangible heritage, youth empowerment, or new technologies, as these subjects will play a significant role in shaping discussions at the 27th General Conference. Experience in the ICOM Resolutions process or drafting strategic documents is also highly desirable.

How to Apply

This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the museum sector’s future and make a tangible impact through your expertise and dedication. Therefore, interested candidates are invited to submit a short statement explaining their interest in the role, along with a CV and the completed Application Form, by 18 November 2024 (23:59, Paris time) to resolutions@icom.museum.

The ICOM Executive Board will review and appoint the members of the Resolutions Committee by early December 2024.

We look forward to receiving your applications!
