Position Statement on Equity and Diversity at the 21st ICOMOS General Assembly (GA2023)

Australia ICOMOS and the managers of the 21st Triennial ICOMOS General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GA2023), along with our invited speakers, sponsors and supporters, are committed to improving equality, diversity and inclusion across those researchers, practitioners and communities participating in the event. Therefore, we have endeavoured to build a program that will embrace different perspectives on the basis of professional experience, cultural background, disability, gender and sexual orientation to ensure our delegates have the greatest opportunity for respectful collaboration, diverse dialogues and creativity and innovation.

Sustainability Guide for GA2023

We aim to make GA2023 a carbon neutral and sustainable event. Our Sustainability Guide for GA2023 will help make the event environmentally and socially sustainable. Our Aboriginal Procurement Policy will create opportunities for Aboriginal owned businesses and employment. We encourage all sponsors, exhibitors, providers and delegates to read and use these policies.

Please be mindful of our planet and join us in our efforts to neutralise the GA2023 carbon footprint. We encourage all attendees to purchase airline carbon offsets and use public transport. We aim to minimise conference paper handouts and consumption through GA2023. Reusable water bottles will be provided but we ask delegates to bring their own reusable cups.
