Final Project Meeting Prag

The final project meeting of the project consortium took place in Prague on 17 and 18 June. This meeting not only announced the final phase of the project. It also provided an opportunity to reflect on and share the results achieved and to discuss sustainable strategies for the future.

The Risk Management for Cultural Heritage project has been dedicated to raising awareness across countries of the importance of well-trained professionals in the field of risk management for cultural heritage. In the face of new climatic challenges, the stated aim was to promote the skills and competencies of professionals in the cultural sector and to create opportunities for education and training.

Over the past three years, the following objectives have been successfully achieved:

Study on Risk Assessment and Management of Cultural Heritage across Europe
The comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for risk assessment and management. The aim is to ensure that our most valuable heritage sites are preserved for future generations.

Risk Manager's European skills and competences profile
This Risk Manager Skills and Competences Profile provides stakeholders in the cultural sector with a clear understanding of the skills and competences required of professionals who manage all activities related to cultural heritage risk management.

Online-Kurs
The online course aims to improve the capacities of cultural sector actors to properly assess and manage the risks of climate change. The course is free of charge, there are no prerequisites for participation and learning can take place at any time and from any place.

RMCH Web App
The Web App allows users to carry out practical risk assessments on real cultural buildings or collections, providing a hands-on learning experience.

Prospects and Strategies for the Future:

The results of the project provide a solid baseline for future development in the field of risk management for cultural heritage. The partner institutions have agreed to continue to disseminate the knowledge and materials gained and to raise awareness of the challenges of climate change in the cultural heritage sector.
Future strategies include the further development of training programmes, the creation of a network of experts in the field of risk management and the promotion of cooperation with institutions involved in the protection of cultural property.
