Event details

Supported by the ISCEC – ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on the Economics of Conservation, this event brings together world experts in cultural economics, regional science, geography, and conservation of tangible and intangible heritage to debate the role that cultural capital has in the progress towards sustainable, resilient cities and inclusive communities.
