Industrial heritage protection in V4: does it work? - Webinar

V4 Industrial Heritage Project is organizing an online seminar for heritage professionals, architects, engineers, students, investors, decision-makers and citizens interested in the industrial and technical heritage of the V4 countries. This event aims to explore the current state and effectiveness of industrial heritage protection across Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.

The seminar will kick off with an introduction to the Visegrad Fund sponsored V4 Industrial Heritage Project, highlighting its scope and achievements in promoting 21 significant heritage sites. Following this, experts in industrial heritage, monument, and artefact protection from the three countries will present their insights on legislative frameworks, conservation challenges, and successful projects. The final three presentations will introduce seven industrial heritage sites from each of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, providing a brief history and explaining why they were selected for the project. The seminar will conclude with an open discussion and a question-and-answer session.

The language of the seminar is English. Participation is free, but registration is required. Audio, visual, and video recordings will be made during the seminar, which may be shared later.
