Since 2002, ARTIUM has organised Encounters between Contemporary Art Archive Departments on a two-yearly basis.  This is a forum for debate and exchange of knowledge about the work done by these entities and their prospects for the future.

These seminars provide an opportunity to analyse new documentary supports and the effect new technologies are having on documentation centres, as well as the changes these technologies are bringing about in the development of the activities of these centres.

Experts from some of the leading centres pool their current experience and projects in the medium and long term.
