ICIP philosophy

History

ICIP is an International Scientific Committee of ICOMOS (The International Council on Monuments and Sites). We began in 2008 with the development of the Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites. Since then, we have developed practice notes for authenticity and inclusiveness and held a range of conferences and events.

Mission

The main task of this committee is to study the evolving technologies and techniques of public interpretation and presentation, evaluating their potential to enrich contemporary historical discourse and to heighten sensitivity to the universal values and particular modes of human expression embodied in cultural heritage sites.
