Webinars

Each quarter, the programme covers varied themes. Recent examples: "The New York Convention and enforcement of awards", "What's new in the BIOP database", "Looking back on a successful restitution", "Careers in heritage protection". Speakers are practitioners, magistrates, curators or officers.

The programme is published three months ahead; a theme can be proposed.

Each webinar comprises a thirty-minute talk, a practical example or testimonial, then twenty minutes of questions. Participants submit their questions in writing; a moderator selects them. Live polls enliven the session.

Unanswered questions receive a written reply within the week.

Each webinar is recorded and available on demand within forty-eight hours, with subtitles in the three languages and a transcript. Presentation materials, links and bibliography can be downloaded. Replays remain accessible for three years.

They are included in the teaching library.

Registration is free and takes two clicks from the calendar. A connection link is sent by email, with a reminder the day before. No camera is needed. Participants receive, on request, a certificate of attendance.

For groups (administrations, museums), a collective registration lets people watch the webinar together.

Practitioners who wish to present their experience can propose a subject. An editorial committee selects proposals according to general interest, quality and diversity of speakers. Technical preparation is provided.

Speakers may not promote their products or services.

The Academy's reception service answers practical questions Monday to Friday, in French, English and Spanish, and can direct each visitor to the programme, scholarship or free resource that fits their situation. A guidance counsellor also offers a thirty-minute individual meeting, by appointment, to build a realistic training pathway.

Trainees' feedback is valuable: each session gives rise to a questionnaire, and the most useful suggestions are examined each quarter by the teaching committee. Do not hesitate to write to report a difficulty, propose a subject or tell us what the training has changed in your practice.
