Please see at the link below the details of the (free) registration procedure for the final conference of the European Commission funded research project CHEurope: Critical Heritage Studies and the Futures of Europe, which will take place 15-16 October online. UCL have been collaborating with eight other European universities in this project over the past four years which has trained 15 Early Stage PhD researchers in critical issues in heritage studies in Europe. The conference provides an opportunity for supervisors and students to present their work, alongside a number of invited international plenary speakers. We do hope you will be able to join us online for the conference.
15-16 October 2020
This international conference will mark the CHEurope project’s conclusion and allow the presentation to the wider scientific community of the results obtained during more than 4 years of collaborative research. The 15 Early Stage Researchers funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, the members of the academic staffs having 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’s program explores the multiple ontologies through which cultural heritage redraws the future of Europe and the world.
