Our urban landscape and built heritage are designed in line with the local climate specificities. As our cultural heritage as a whole is exposed to the atmosphere over long periods of time and therefore exposed to attack from pollutants and natural weathering processes, climate change is thus expected to have either catastrophic or subtle effects on Cultural Heritage materials and Cultural Landscapes.

The main objective of the 2009 Strasbourg Course is to ensure that young European students are informed on these important issues and will be able to undertake future rigorous scientific monitoring of changes in relation with cultural heritage.
