Aims and content

For our closing event on 1st and 2nd March 2021, we will be organizing a poster exhibition on the topic: “Combatting Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Property – New Weapons in an Old Fight”.

In addition, the participants are asked to present their poster in 120 seconds in a virtual poster slam during the closing session of the first day of the Forum.
