SUMMARY:INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE IN UNITED EUROPE - CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:Law and Practice in the Protection of Industrial Heritage in European Countries \nThis international conference is being organised by a coalition of heritage bodies in Poland:  TICCIH Poland\, National Heritage Institute\, Foundation for the Protection of the Industrial Heritage of Silesia (with strong support from the Polish Government – Ministry of Culture and National Heritage). The event is also supported by various other organisations including WIMH Working Industrial & Mobile Heritage platform group. \nThe conference aims to be a forum for exchanging experiences and best practices regarding the preservation of technical monuments.  Learning about local experiences can become a platform for establishing common principles for the research\, recording and re-use of technical monuments. An objective will be to formulate basis principles for the protection of monuments on a European scale and identifying best practices for adapting technical monuments to new functions\, ranging from industrial and mining locations through to heritage railways. \nAIA members will be very welcome to take part. At the time of writing (June) final details of the full programme are still to be confirmed. \nFor further info please contact: piotr.gerber@muzeatechniki.pl \nPeter Ovenstone – Secretary\, WIMH Working Industrial & Mobile Heritage platform
