17-18 May 2022 | Ghent, Belgium & online streaming
OpenHeritage and the University of Ghent invited everyone interested in how policies can support adaptive reuse of cultural heritage for a Policy Conference “Bottom-up driven adaptive heritage reuse: policies and practices”. The one-day event focused on providing a multi-faceted understanding of different policies that can support bottom-up initiatives in pursuing adaptive reuse processes. It introduced and provided a framework for discussion in various aspects of policy provisions, concentrating on the topics of inclusive business models, partnership options and the economic role of SMEs in this process. Additionally, leveraging the learning of OpenHeritage, it provided input for the EU and national policy makers about the opportunities in policymaking.
The event took place in Ghent, with the possibility to join online. For more information, click here.
