Renewal of MoU with the Institute of Historic Buildings Conservation (IHBC)

Remember, CIfA members can get member price to IHBC events and 1 year’s free membership!

CIfA recently renewed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Institute of Historic Buildings Conservation (IHBC) which sets out intentions for continuing to develop broad cooperation between the two Institutes. For more information on the MoU, click here.

The MoU recognises the shared aims of promoting good practice and a commitment to developing high quality skills and learning environments in archaeology and conservation respectively, as well as a shared interest in influencing legislation and policy affecting the historic environment and securing investment and support for areas of common interests.

The MoU also recognises that both institutes have distinct roles in shaping the historic environment, with the accredited skills-sets and competences of members, but also identifies complementary characteristics and a greater potential to work to ensure mutual support of aims, events, and services.
 

Event discounts

As part of this cooperation, members of either Institute are entitled to discounted member rates for events and CPD, including CIfA Conference and IHBC Annual School.
