In 2022, as usual, ICOFOM had a very busy agenda. We published 5 monographs and a new issue of the ICOFOM Study Series. We held our annual symposium during the ICOM general conference in Prague and organized joint-sessions together with the ICOM International Committee for the Training of Personnel (ICTOP), ICOM France, ICOM LAC, University of St Andrews and Masaryk University. On the threshold of the votes for the new museum definition, we held the last rounds of our part of surveys on the ICOM new museum definition that we launched back in 2019, we are thankful to all our members who took part in all these activities.
