Concluding Conference
CULTURAL HERITAGE COUNTS FOR EUROPE CONCLUDING CONFERENCE
12 June 2015 // Oslo, Norway
The Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe (CHCFE) concluding conference was held on 12 June 2015 at the Aula of Domus Media, University of Oslo in Norway. Organised in the framework of the Europa Nostra Congress 2015, the event gathered more than 100 distinguished European political figures, heritage experts, academics, researchers, and heritage professionals from across Europe.
The main purpose of this event was to present the project results, key findings and strategic recommendations for tapping into heritage’s full potential. It was also an occasion to hear from key political players, investors and heritage stakeholders about their reactions to the report’s findings and discuss the implications for evidence-based policy making in Europe.
In this space, we have speeches from European political figures during the conference’s opening session, a summary of the conference’s main discussion points, PowerPoint presentations from members of the project’s consortium, the conference reader with programme and speaker biographies, and the event’s photo gallery.
Share you reactions with us on Twitter #HeritageCounts.
