The WHC@50 Una Europa Seed Funding Project.
In 2022 the World Heritage Convention (WHC) celebrates 50 years. Thanks to its 194 State Parties, the WHC represents a major tool for International (Cultural Heritage) Law, a powerful promoter of cultural identity, and a formidable boost for national economies.
The Una Europa Seed Funding Project “WHC@50” aims to retrace how the WHC was conceived, to present its current formulation and application in practice, to illustrate its meaning for the preservation and enhancement of world heritage governance, to analyse its strengths and weaknesses, and to indicate its needs for reviews and reforms.
By combining the insights of jurists, political scientists, historians, architects, and economists, WHC@50 embarks on a multi-perspective analysis through a series of eight WHC@50 seminars. All these seminars are open to scholars affiliated to the UNA Europa partner universities.
