ICOM’s Standing Committee SAREC is in charge of supporting our members and our committees through grants. The allocation program not only helps individual members attend international meetings – it also supports activities from our committees that are in line with our common goals. We talked with Elke Kellner, managing director of ICOM Austria, about the experience applying for a special project grant.
