The Horizon 2020 Conference on Innovation and Cultural Heritage was successfully held on 20 March, jointly organised by three Commission's departments working with culture, research communication and technology, promoting a real integrated approach to cultural heritage. Participants debated the most promising innovations working to preserve Europe's cultural heritage, showcasing a wide range of examples, from interdisciplinary approaches to analyse transnational cultural landscapes, to collaborative and circular approaches for the regeneration and adaptive reuse of historic city centres. The event’s sessions highlighted policy, social, technological, methodological innovations, as well as new, promising partnerships for cultural heritage. The European Commission's policy review, 'Innovation in Cultural Heritage Research', was also presented. Were you unable to attend? You can still stream the conference.
