Urban Heritage Strategies in War Time

This year’s edition of the Course on Urban Heritage Strategies, taking place in June and July, is tailored to the historic Ukrainian cities currently under siege.

How do you deal with the historic urban core when your city is under siege? How to prevent loss and how to prepare for rehabilitation? How to organize required maintenance and how to withstand development pressure? Urban professionals working in crisis situations, especially from Ukraine are invited to apply. Yet the course is also open for professionals from the Netherlands and other countries.

The course is executed in a hybrid format. Part one, focusing on theories and concepts is offered online. Part two, focusing on practical skills and networking, is conducted at Erasmus University Rotterdam.

This course is a joint endeavour of the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE), Erasmus University Rotterdam and Delft University of Technology.

Application deadline: 19 April
