Cultural Heritage Research Meets Practice
10 November 2008 - 14 November 2008
Slovenia
The event will be organised, in close liaison with the European Commission, by the National and University Library of Slovenia, the "Construction Cluster" of Slovenia, and the University of Ljubljana.
Our cultural heritage enriches our lives and strengthens our identity. With the growing importance of tourism, it is also becoming a major economic factor, enhancing the quality of life in Europe and contributing to employment. Yet the changing environment, increasing numbers of tourists and use of non-sustainable practices impose a growing threat to the fragile remains of our past.
The main objective of 8th EC conference on cultural heritage is to foster (the) exploitation and spin off of EU research results. New technologies, tools and devices will be presented through talks, posters, exhibitions and practical workshops. Interdisciplinary discussions among scientists, policy makers and end-users – e.g. conservators and restorers, managers and owners of the cultural patrimony- will aim at identification of future needs and development of funding strategies. Special attention will be devoted to pooling of expertise of key players in the field, such as ICOM-CC, ICOMOS, ICCROM, ECTP-FACH, EUROPA NOSTRA, UNESCO and others.
The aim of the final Conference is to present the state-of-the-art in the field of the four defined thematic groups:
Recent progress in cultural heritage research
Knowledge and technology transfer, from research to industry and SMEs
Education and training, communication
Policies, legislation, standardisation, and sustainability strategies in cultural heritage.
The participation of researchers, end-users, practitioners, enterprises – manufacturers and suppliers of equipment and services, representatives of local and national administrations, public and private organisations responsible for the management, exploitation and maintenance of the cultural heritage are therefore warmly welcomed.For forther information regarding the conference, please visit: http://chresp.eu/(opens in new window)
