PROCULTHER-NET technical bulletin - issue 4

This issue - whose foreword is signed by Krista Pikkat, Director of Culture and Emergencies Entity, Culture Sector, UNESCO - is involving a growing number of experts from the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) States and beyond. Among the countries participating in the initiative, alongside the Consortium partners from France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Türkiye, the publication includes authors from Switzerland, as well as reviewers from Albania, Austria, Hungary, and the United Kingdom. 

Building on the success of the first two PROCULTHER-NET Technical Bulletins, published in March and June  2023, last April the PROCULTHER-NET 2 project launched a call for contributions for collecting proposals for the two editions planned for 2024. The third issue was released in July, while the main features of the recently published fourth issue are outlined here. With a focus on the stakes at international and European level, and with the aim of sharing cutting-edge knowledge on cultural heritage at risk, these Technical Bulletins approach the topic in a transversal and interdisciplinary manner, fostering dialogue among experts from the earliest stages of prevention and preparedness, to ensure systematic and more effective response strategies in the field.
