About the person
Peter Strasser studied Austrian law, European ethnology, human rights as well as humanitarian law at the universities of Innsbruck/Austria and Nottingham/UK. (Mag.iur 1989, Mag.phil. 1992, Dr.iur 1994, LL.M. 1995, Dr.phil. 2018)
After practical legal training at different courts in Vienna, he joined the Ministry of Interior in Vienna as legal adviser (1993-1996) and worked as curator in an ethnological museum. Since 1997 he served in several international organizations in the field of (World) cultural heritage and cultural property protection. (UNESCO/Paris, IOM/Tirana, EU/Bucharest, OSCE/Kosovo) During these assignments he had the opportunity to join several working groups for the drafting of international legal instruments for the protection of cultural property (1999: 2nd Protocol to the 1954 Hague Convention, 2001: UNESCO-cultural heritage, 2003: UNESCO-intangible heritage, 2015: UNESCO 2015 Recommendation on Museums & Collections). After 2008 he worked as adviser for World Heritage in the Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture in Vienna.
In 2012 he joined University for Continuing Education Krems as scientist in the field of cultural heritage and in 2015 he became the head of the then newly created Center for Cultural Property Protection at that University (this position he held until 2023). Between 2019 and 2022 he was seconded to the OSCE – Mission in Kosovo as Senior Adviser for cultural heritage protection.
In August 2022 he was appointed as Professor for World Heritage and Cultural Property Protection at the University for Continuing Education Krems where he was tasked to establish the Jiří Toman Center for Cultural Heritage and Humanitarian Norms. In his research he puts emphasis on the international dimension of cultural heritage protection with focus on legal issues and international stakeholders. He is author of some 200 publications in the field of cultural heritage protection, heritage legislation, and ethnology. Furthermore, he was member of several working groups for the nomination of World Heritage properties and of the working group on World Heritage of the Alpine Convention. He is member of the University’s Working Group on Equality Issues. (AKG)
