The 11^th Conference of the International Committee for the Conservation of Mosaics (ICCM) will be held in Volubilis and Meknes (Morocco), October 24-27, 2011, at the invitation of the Ministry of Culture of Morocco. The conference is organized by the ICCM under the auspices of Ahmed Guitaa, Secretary General of The Moroccan Ministry of Culture, and Abdellah Salih, Director of Cultural Heritage.

The theme of the 11^th Conference is: Managing archaeological sites with mosaics: from real problems to practical solutions. 


The conservation of mosaics on archaeological sites can appear to be an impossible task. Poor understanding of the causes of deterioration and ineffective responses result in on-going loss of these irreplaceable assets of our ancient heritage.
