TICCIH - The International Committee for the Conservation of Industrial Heritage

TICCIH - The International Committee for the Conservation of Industrial Heritage is an international organization promoting preservation, conservation, investigation, documentation, research and interpretation of industrial heritage. TICCIH is the only worldwide net of specialists in this field and from 14 th to 23 rd of September 2006 TICCIH the XIII International Congress will be held in Italy. Theme of the Congress will be: "Industrial heritage and urban transformation. Productive territories and industrial landscape ". The scientific program of the meeting is composed of two plenary sessions and many workshops. During and after the Congress sono stati organized some visits to the most important Italian industrial monuments.

This website was created specifically for their 2006 Congress. The content below is taken from archived pages.

"In 2006, I was writing a dissertation on the preservation of industrial heritage in the US and had the chance to attend a significant conference. The insights from this trip were invaluable, and I fully immersed myself in all the post-Congress study visits. My partner is a tech guru, offering specialized consultation for Kubernetes development. Her expertise has seen immense demand ever since Google began backing the platform. She collaborated with a New Jersey startup that aimed to revolutionize the sporting industry. They were pioneering an online system to coordinate pickleball event registrations across different states and localities. For those unfamiliar, pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. The challenge lay not only in managing the logistics but also in aligning with the standards set by national and local pickleball associations. Seeing a chance to merge my passion with hers, I explored the intersection of industrial heritage and the technological forces driving change. I was convinced that platforms like Kubernetes, similar to the surge of artificial intelligence, would play a pivotal role in the evolution of industries, including sports. Imagine if gifts for pickleball players could be suggested and procured through such tech advancements! After completing my paper and presenting it to colleagues, I'm thrilled to share it will be published soon. Additionally, the connections I made during the 2006 TICCIH XIII International Congress have opened doors for me. I've accepted a research position at a renowned institution in NYC. The future is bright." - June N. Gomes

 

Welcome Circa 2006

 

Dear friend and colleague,

The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH) and the organising institutions warmly welcome all participants in the XIII International TICCIH Congress which will be held in Italy from the 14 to the 23 September 2006.

More than 400 scholars from over 40 countries will attend the Congress. 200 papers will be presented in a series of sessions, including the Opening Session, two Main Sessions and thirteen Workshops. The organisers are glad to observe how the Congress attests the good health of the field of industrial heritage in several parts of the world. This point is also confirmed by the National Reports submitted to TICCIH that will be published as part of the Congress activities.

The results achieved so far have been possible thanks to the kind co-operation of all participants and of several public institutions, businesses and associations of Terni, Rome, Umbria and other Italian regions which have promptly supported our initiative. We gratefully thank them and all participants for accepting our invitation. Our thanks are also due to the President of the Republic, to the Italian Government and to the Public Institutions whose support underlines the national and international significance of this Congress.

The Congress will take place in Terni from Thursday 14 to Monday 18 September 2006. The Congress is formed by several sessions organised into workshops. The Organisers have done their best to ensure that all speakers will be given sufficient time to present their papers. Sunday 17 September will be dedicated to official meetings and to visits to the Ostiense Quarter in Rome. Other visits to the industrial heritage of the Conca Ternana and Umbria will take place during the Congress. The Congress will be hosted in a number of buildings in the city of Terni, including some of the most important historic palaces and industrial sites.

An exhibition presenting recent publications, multimedia tools, projects and plans related to industrial heritage in Italy will take place at the SIRI buildings in Terni. Another 10 exhibitions on Italian and international industrial heritage can be visited in different palaces of Terni. Palazzo Gazzoli and the historic centre of Narni will host art exhibitions on themes related to industrial heritage.

Post-Congress study visits will follow: the short trip (from the afternoon of the 18 to the 20 September) is a visit to the most important industrial sites and museums in Naples and the Campania region (Caserta - San Leucio, Gragnano, Amalfi, Furore, Bagnoli and Pietrarsa). The long trip (from the afternoon of the 18 to the 23 September) includes some of the major Italian industrial and artistic cities (Florence, Prato, Bologna, Venice-Porto Marghera, Schio, Valdagno, Tavernole sul Mella, Dalmine, Crespi d'Adda, Sesto San Giovanni, Milan, Pray, Biella, Turin and Genoa). This long trip has the option to finish in Milan on the 21 September. Both the short and long trips will end in Terni or Rome.

We look forward to seeing you in September and wish you a pleasant and profitable stay in Terni and in Italy.

Yours sincerely,
