Portugal | 30th NEMO European Museum Conference on resilient museums

The 30th Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO) European Museum Conference will be held in Loulé, Portugal, from 9 to 11 October 2022.

Called ‘Innovation begins within – Resilient museums in times of disruption’, the 2022 conference will explore how museums can become more innovative, agile and flexible in a fast-changing and challenging world. No one can be sure of the future, but does that mean that museums cannot be futureproof? The pandemic has not only disrupted the world as we knew it, but also put a magnifying glass on the museum sector’s capacity to respond to other ongoing crises, making obvious that change is much needed.

The conference will look inside museums to harness existing skills and identify what is lacking. It will also look outside the sector to find inspiration for new approaches, perspectives and ideas.

The conference also has a workshop programme, exploring topics such as digital heritage, future proofing, interconnected thinking in museums and impact awareness for digital leaders.

Who is NEMO's European Museum Conference for?

NEMO's European Museum Conference is open for everyone and especially targets museum directors, culture policy people, museum educators, activists, students, people active in European cooperation projects, curators, representatives of museum organisations, museums interest groups and policy makers on national and European level.

Registration closes 30 September 2022
