2025 SPECIAL FOCUS: Museums, Galleries, and Archives: Engines of Innovation and Social Participation
Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums are the four critical domains of heritage collections that collaborate and coordinate their shared agendas and work together with UNESCO. There are emerging common concerns among them. All are rethinking community cultural engagement, positioning themselves as civic spaces for the culture, health, and well-being of stakeholder communities. Relevance and inclusion are critical benchmarks along with climate crisis responsiveness and sustainability—economic, social, cultural, and environmental. In this context, we look forward to interdisciplinary interrogation, evidence-based case studies, and demonstration projects in Zaragoza.

ABOUT US
Founded in 2008, The Inclusive Museum Research Network is brought together by a shared concern for the future role of the museum and how it can become more inclusive. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
