ICON also provides a forum for groups based around particular conservation disciplines such as paintings, paper etc. to present and discuss current issues, upcoming events and such like. The conservation science group page is located at: http://www.icon.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17. In addition to ICON, there are several other science-based groups within the profession such as the User’s Group for Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography http://www.mascgroup.org/ and the Infrared and Raman Users Group http://www.irug.org/. The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) at Stanford also has a science-based group called Research and Technical Studies (RATS) http://aic.stanford.edu/sg/rats/index.html.
