This year, MUTEC will for the first time be supported by ICOM Deutschland e. V. as a partner. The partnership was originally planned for MUTEC 2020, but as we all know the trade fair had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Now we can finally go ahead with this promising cooperation. As Germany's and indeed Europe's largest network of museum professionals, ICOM Deutschland is dedicated above all to the promotion of young scholars, the provision of specialist museum-related information and the further training of museum professionals.
