The 15 Early Stage Researchers funded by the CHEurope Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network and members of the academic staff who supervised the training and research activities, as well as various highly renowned international keynote speakers, will offer a renewed vision of the place that cultural heritage occupies in our societies and the role it can play in its future developments - a perspective whose topicality has suddenly and dramatically been highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

From migrations to climate change, from the heritagization of the urban to digitality as a vector of communication and transmission of cultural heritage, and from the use of heritage as a therapy for improving psychological resilience and well-being to the interconnections between heritage, citizenship, policy, participation, politics and economy, the conference programme explores the multiple ontologies through which cultural heritage redraws the future of Europe and the world.
