On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of UNESCO, the Czech National Heritage Institute is hosting an international conference on risk factors observed during periodic, annual or ad hoc monitoring, in the Czech Republic and abroad.
This conference brings attention to the organisation’s wide scope of action in World Heritage protection. Its aim is to define the risk factors to World Heritage in the Czech Republic, and to show examples of how they can be avoided, how successful we can be in reducing them and which measures were taken to eliminate them. Moreover, the conference is an occasion to present the results of the second cycle of periodic reporting in Europe and North America.
Aims of the conference:
The conference is organised in cooperation with the Czech National Committee of ICOMOS and the National Technical Museum, under the auspices of the Czech National Commission for UNESCO and with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
Please note that on 19 November, the conference will host speakers from Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic; with interpreting from English into Czech.
