The Institute of Conservation and Management
of Cultural Heritage’s mission statement outlines the
role that ICMCH plays within Heritage Malta’s operations,
including the aspect of research. It reads as follows:
To promote and conduct quality education,
training and collaborative research in conservation and management
of cultural heritage, particularly within Malta's Euro-Mediterranean
context.
Research forms an integral part of ICMCH’s
undergraduate and postgraduate course offerings. A product
of these courses is the dissertations, which generate material
of a highly specialized nature, some at the forefront of knowledge
in the fields of conservation and management of cultural heritage.
In this regard ICMCH strongly encourages research on topics
directly linked to Heritage Malta’s broader operations.
Abstracts of the dissertations produced thus far are being
made available on line to facilitate further research on these
and related topics.
Whilst contributing directly to Heritage
Malta’s research projects, through the research undertaken
as part of the aforementioned course offerings and also through
the active participation in Heritage Malta’s research
initiatives including EU-funded projects, ICMCH is responsible
for facilitating and promoting research within Heritage Malta
at large and is a key player in the drafting of Heritage Malta’s
policies and guidelines on research.
Since ICMCH was given this responsibility
in September 2005 it has successfully organized two Heritage
Malta research strategy seminars with the aim of contributing
to the establishment of the new Heritage Malta research strategy
and of defining the priorities of the Agency. Moreover, it
chairs the Agency’s Research Strategy Committee which
propels and monitors initiatives linked to the definition
and management of Heritage Malta’s research strategy.
