The papers in this issue comprise the proceedings of the 2nd Biennial International Conference for the Craft Sciences, held 20–22 September 2023 in Mariestad at the Craft Laboratory, affiliated with the Department of Conservation, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Craft is an integral aspect of daily life and work, activated in all the knowledgeable processes of making and transforming ideas into artefacts and services. Craft is commonly anticipated as a form of production, but it may also be practiced as a social and political activity and as a way of knowing and being in the world. Craft is omnipresent and multi-folded. Consequently, craft research is diverse, conducted across and within different disciplines and academic contexts, and operates with distinct perspectives and approaches. The Biennial International Conference for the Craft Sciences provides an international platform for the exchange and communication of craft research between different fields and across the borders www.FormAkademisk.org 1 Vol.16 Nr.4, BICCS 23, 2023, Editorial1, 1–9 https://doi.org/10.7577/formakademisk.5589 Gunnar Almevik PhD, Professor Conservation, University of Gothenburg gunnar.almevik@conservation.gu.se Géraldine Brun MSc, Doctoral student Conservation, University of Gothenburg geraldine.brun@gu.se Anneli Palmsköld PhD, Professor Conservation, University of Gothenburg anneli.palmskold@conservation.gu.se Katarina Saltzman PhD, Associate Professor Conservation, University of Gothenburg, katarina.saltzman@conservation.gu.se Gunnar ALMEVIK, Géraldine BRUN, Anneli PALMSKÖLD & Katarina SALTZMAN—Editorial.
