Workshop: Cultural Heritage and Creative City / Regional Development

CreativeCH is pleased to announce a collaboration with the Institute for Social and European Studies (ISES), Köszeg, Hungary on the forthcoming workshop on Cultural Heritage and Creative Cities / Regional Development. 

The Institute since 2011 holds the UNESCO Chair in Cultural Heritage Management and Sustainability, and offers a post-graduate programme that provides an interdisciplinary specialization in cultural heritage and sustainable development.

CreativeCH and ISES share an interest in several topics, especially the importance of cultural heritage for cities and regions, and the potential of combining cultural heritage assets and creative strategies to support sustainable development. A current ISES project is “Creative Cities - Sustainable Regions” that explores how to evaluate the creative potential of cities and regions based on a creativity index.

The workshop will be held on the 16th of September 2014 in Budapest at the Petofi Irodalmi Múzeum. It will bring together experts from Hungary and other countries, including from Creative SpIN (Spillovers of Innovation), a network of European cities funded under the URBACT programme.
