Conservation and Use of Southeast Asian Collections(CollAsia) brings together and empowers professionals and organizations working with heritage collections in Asia. It aims to effect positive and lasting change through cooperation and awareness, increased knowledge and skills, and improved attitude and behavior toward sustainable collections care. The course covers management and conservation for all types of heritage collections. Its activities are consistently designed to overcome language barriers and promote scientific literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, community engagement, and local expertise and solutions. Since 2012, the Cultural Heritage Administration of the Republic of Korea (CHA) has generously provided ICCROM with the core funding for CollAsia’s ongoing activities in the Asia-Pacific Region. In addition, the NRICH continues to dispatch conservation science experts and is carrying out joint projects starting in 2023.

Since 2023, NRICH has been hosting an international academic conference in collaboration with ICCROM. In 2023, we had the opportunity to expand the Asian Archaeological Conference, which has been held since 2011, to discuss cases in which research and conservation policies conducted in ancient ruins of famous cities around the world have contributed to regional development. This conference served as an opportunity to share archaeological research achievements from various countries and directions for the preservation and exchange of remains. The conference can be viewed on the Cultural Heritage Administration's YouTube channel. NRICH plans to jointly promote international academic conferences in various fields in the future.
