Activities

The annual calendar brings together all the public events of the Organization. Registration is done online through the dedicated form; an acknowledgement of receipt is sent within 48 hours. Participation is free for public officials and paid, between €90 and €350, for other participants depending on the event.

The regional seminars in Nairobi, Singapore and New York, held twice a year per region, bring the Organization closer to local realities. The conferences, twenty-four per year, give rise to proceedings published within 90 days.

The General Assembly brings together the 67 delegations, with one vote per State. Its agenda is published sixty days before the session and the documents thirty days before. Resolutions are adopted by consensus or by a two-thirds majority.

The Restoration Prize and the Collector Prize are presented on this occasion, following the decision of an independent jury of nine members.

The annual report, the market report, twelve practical guides and the quarterly OIMAP Review form the core of the publications. The video library holds 480 videos and the photo library 18,000 images, available on request within five working days.

About forty press releases are issued each year. Journalists obtain their accreditation within three days; the monthly newsletter is published in French, English and Spanish.

The activities extend the Organization's other missions: international operations mobilize partners, including cooperation agreements with international organizations, and have led to the restitution of 847 works in total. OIMAP Academy training feeds into the conferences, and Desk certifications feed into the publications.

Calls for projects, five to eight per year, support field initiatives, with results communicated within 90 days.
