The Gerry Hedley Symposium is an annual student-run conference. Post-graduate students and interns from all three of the UK’s conservation courses, The Hamilton Kerr Institute, Northumbria University and The Courtauld Institute of Art, have the opportunity to present their research ranging from conservation, technical analysis and art-historical research of paintings and artworks on paper. We are delighted this year to continue this tradition and offer students an opportunity to present their research to members of the conservation world and further afield via the new online format.
