The CIMAM Travel Grant Program has been crucial in fostering new professional relationships and cross-institutional collaborations. Many LA Annual Conference travel grantees have expressed the need to maintain these connections beyond the event, ensuring that discussions and interactions evolve into long-term, meaningful exchanges.

Ramiro Camelo, Curator and Project Manager at Myymälä2, Helsinki, Finland proposes to lead this CIMAM Connects to continue the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie established during the conference by creating a space for ongoing engagement, knowledge-sharing, and future planning.

Key Objectives of the Session:

Share ideas on organizing a steering group of LA Travel grantees to participate in the 57th CIMAM Annual Conference in 2025. This group will be responsible for monitoring, facilitating, and advising travel grantees interested in attending the conference in Turin.

Additionally, we will conduct a follow-up discussion on the LA Annual Conference to address key concerns, findings, and conclusions in a more relaxed atmosphere.
