Summary

The theme for this event is extremely topical as it focusses on resilience in relation to our built heritage. Participants will learn how key organisations within the UK and Europe have responded to and are coping with recent events – the impacts of COVID and of course climate change being at the forefront of these issues.

Typically, governments the world over are reacting to the consequences of climate change in particular by imposing knee-jerk legislation which is inappropriate for traditional buildings, inevitably causing problems which will need to be resolved in the near future.

A series of case studies will explore how we can ensure that our built heritage remains fit for future generations without undue drastic compromise in a new world; what training, education and standards there should be; and how we need to learn lessons to adapt to meet requirements now and in the future.

This highly thought-provoking conference will provide invaluable CPD for anyone involved in the Heritage Sector at whatever level.
