NEMO invited to speak at ICOM Europe annual conference   

On 18 November 2023, the day prior to the NEMO European Museum Conference kicked off, NEMO Chair David Vuillaume delivered a presentation at the annual conference by ICOM Europe, which also was held in in Lahti, Finland.

The conference focused on public policies for sustainable development in museums in Europe and offered different comparisons and suggestions of cooperation. David Vuillaume’s presentation “ACTION! Museums in the climate crisis” gave insights into NEMO’s recent sustainability initiatives and a preview of what was to come at the NEMO European Museum Conference that ran from 19-21 November.

Vuillaume presented findings from NEMO’s 2022 research Museums in the climate crisis, which has been followed up with a new report that supports museums to take political action in the climate crisis.

He also mentioned NEMO’s new interactive map, which will collect and show how museums are already acting on the climate crisis. NEMO encourages museums across Europe to participate in the crowdsource project by submitting their approaches, formats, and scopes via bit.ly/NEMO-Climate-Map-Submission
