Join us in innovating heritage!

In a rapidly evolving world where technological advancements and environmental challenges continually reshape society, preserving and leveraging cultural heritage as a resource for research, societal benefit, and economic growth is more vital than ever.

The Alliance for Research on Cultural Heritage in Europe (ARCHE) invites you to join this international conference, hosted by TMO, where we will explore how national and European research and funding policies can unite to make cultural heritage resilient in the face of climate change. This event marks a significant step forward as the ARCHE consortium works toward establishing a European Partnership Framework — a masterplan enabling Member States and the European Commission to jointly support innovative initiatives aimed at strengthening cultural heritage resilience.

Innovation through Heritage” brings together policymakers, thought leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across Europe to shape the future of cultural heritage. With a focus on critical themes such as digitization, technology, climate adaptation, and resilience, this conference provides a unique platform to collaborate and define a sustainable roadmap for cultural heritage research and innovation, shaping its transformative potential for 2040 and beyond.
