Adapting heritage preservation to future challenges

Greatfully fonded by Direktør Michael Hermann Nielsens Mindelegat managed by the City of Copenhagen
NKF-Danmark has the pleasure to invite to the upcoming 23rd Triennial NKF Congress “Resilience: Adapting heritage preservation to future challenges” which will be held in October 2024 at The National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen.
Our wish is to set focus on preservation ethics, practices and goals in a rapidly changing world. We would like to offer space for discussion on resilience in conservation and of the conservation profession; how the field adapts to changes in climate and biodiversity, international political structures, colonial dynamics and other contemporary issues. Furthermore, we would like to broaden the discussion on how heritage preservation can contribute to a change of conduct amongst people, institutions, and society.
The 23rd Triennial NKF Congress aims at showcasing the newest research topics in heritage preservation in the IIC-Nordic Group and likewise invites international researchers to bring their knowledge to northern Europe. We believe in the importance of inclusion and sharing with our communities and gaining new perspectives from it. The themes for the 23rd Triennial NKF Congress are:
