Why participate in UMAC 2026 Conference?

UMAC 2026 is a unique international meeting for professionals, researchers, and organizations engaged with university museums and collections. It aims to highlight the crucial role of University Museums as actors of sustainable development within academia and society.

By participating in the Conference, you will have the opportunity to:

•    Contribute to the global dialogue on the role of University Museums as spaces that connect knowledge, research, and society, especially in times of increasing social challenges. 

•    Deepen your understanding of sustainable development by exploring how museums can act as active contributors to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

•    Expand your professional network by connecting with the global ICOM-UMAC community, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. 

•    Discover best practices and innovative approaches from institutions/museums around the world, whether well-established or emerging. 

•    Promote accessibility and inclusion, as the Conference places special emphasis on the participation of young professionals and representatives from countries with limited development of university museums. 

By participating, you become part of a dynamic community that brings together all potential resources to redefine the relationship between universities, culture, and society, actively contributing to shaping the future of university museums within the academic community and society.
