ISC20C is pleased to announce that Dr Stephen Schrapel has been appointed as ISC20C’s lead and primary contact for the GA2026 Scientific Symposium session “Common Threads: Similarities for a Peaceful Future.”
Stephen is an experienced researcher and practitioner whose work explores shared patterns in global heritage and the role of cultural exchange in shaping 20th-century environments. His interdisciplinary approach aligns closely with the session’s focus on recognizing commonalities in heritage as a basis for dialogue, understanding, and peace.
As ISC20C lead, Stephen will coordinate our committee’s contributions, liaise with the session organizers, and support the development and review of the Call for Abstracts.
We look forward to a strong and engaged ISC20C contribution to this important session at the ICOMOS General Assembly 2026.
