Belgium

The Inp has a long-standing relationship with a number of Belgian institutions. The collaborations are being strengthened through European projects.

A few dates

2026: The INP took part in the Green Cluster workshop held on 26 February 2026 at KIK-IRPA in Brussels, which focused on integrating sustainable principles into the conservation of cultural heritage. Discussions centred on the outcomes of several projects, as well as on the role of research and training in this sector. This participation provided an opportunity to keep abreast of European thinking on green conservation practices and the policies that underpin them.

2023-2024: Project to study the harpsichords in the Brussels Musical Instruments Museum by the laboratory and the student conservator-restorers in the metal and furniture specialities, with a view to publishing a worldwide catalogue of 18th century Flemish harpsichords. The students’ and supervisory staff’s expenses are covered by the Institute's Erasmus+ funding.

May 2022: Hosting of the third workshop on "Heritage Professions", organised by the Institute as part of the EUFP 2022 with the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage in Brussels, in the presence of La Cambre, the ESA Saint-Luc Liège School of Art and the University of Antwerp.

Each year, Belgian institutions host student curators and conservator-restorers from the Inp.
