The cultural heritage of the Baltic Sea region has an outstanding value and diversity. Sustainable integration of cultural heritage assets to development potential creates a common responsibility that should be recognized by involved stakeholders, in communities, national policies and regional approaches.

The 4th Cultural Heritage Forum offers a meeting place where pending matters, knowledge and ideas can be exchanged on regional and European bases. Topical challenges – environmental, economic and intercultural – are valorised covering among others environmental assessment of historic buildings, cultural heritage as a public good and an asset in local and regional development, competent restoration of cultural heritage and maintenance of authenticity as well as contemporary architecture in historic surroundings.

Our aim is to discuss and define interdisciplinary and cross sectors risks which can lead to irretrievable loss of heritage values and policies that can help us enrich the social and economic values of our daily surroundings.

The Forum offers a unique opportunity to meet colleagues, relevant interest groups and stakeholders from neighbouring countries. There will be good opportunities for networking and exchange of experiences on regional bases.
