The Icomos/Slovenia and the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage
of Slovenia are organizing the 2nd International Symposium on cultural
heritage and legal issues under the title “Protection and Reuse of Industrial
Heritage: Dilemmas, problems, examples”, which will take place in Bled from
the 1st to the 3rd October 2015.
Having in mind that industrial heritage is at risk, particularly in the area of
South Eastern Europe, and taking into account the relevance of Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe Resolution 1924 (2013) on industrial
heritage in Europe and the 10th anniversary of the Faro Convention on the
Value of Cultural Heritage for Society, the aim of the symposium is to promote
increased awareness about the values of industrial heritage in contemporary
society and to present challenges, dilemmas and examples related to the
protection of industrial heritage. The focus of the symposium is protection of
industrial heritage in the context of its rehabilitation and reuse.
In spite of the fact that the importance of industrial heritage is widely
recognized across Europe, in practice this type of heritage remains to a large
degree neglected in countries of Southern and above all Eastern Europe.
The goal of the symposium is to present dilemmas, problems and examples
concerning the rehabilitation and reuse of industrial heritage in the context of
contemporary sustainable development.
Invited speakers
Leading experts will be invited to deliver keynote lectures.
Presentation
Working language: the official language of the symposium (for both oral and
written contributions) will be English.
