At the end of June, ITAM CAS and Municipal District - Prague Troja will host an international conference with theme „Managing the Protection of Cultural Heritage in Changing Environment”. The conference will take place on June 27th, 2019 in mUnicipal House in the centre of old Prague. The venue is especially fitting for the ProteCHt2save conference, as the historic centre of Prague is a Cultural Heritage (UNESCO) site at risk posed by climate change impacts (in this case floods from the Vltava river enveloping the city). As part of the conference, there will be a technical visit focused on this issue.
For registration and additional information, contact prechova@itam.cas.cz.
The main objective of the event is to present the latest development in the Interreg Central Europe project ProteCHt2save to European and local authorities and stakeholders, with special accent on experiences in historic Prague, and to present a perspective and experiences from the point of view of management of cultural heritage protection in a changing environment.
