• Be a forum for the exchange of information on techniques in practice and under development and scientific research through regular meetings and publications including Conservation News.

• To set and maintain standards of stone and wall painting conservation.

• To be a representative voice in the stone and wall painting conservation, in training and in lobbying government.
