Description of the group

Through such processes of ‘heritagization’, intangible forms of the everyday are becoming subject to politics, juridical implications in an (inter-) national context, interference or subjection to global (UN) conventions, debates and controversies. The research group aims at:

• Collaboration and exchange between researchers (improve quality of research on heritage dynamics)
• Exchange between researchers, “heritage professionals” and policy makers (impact of research results on heritage policy)
• Dissemination of the research results through publications, conferences, and/or public debates.
• Promotion of collaborative research projects through interaction between scholars at these meetings

Envisaged results
