UNESCO, the Asian Academy for Heritage Management Secretariat at Southeast University, and the Beijing Cultural Relics Protection Association invite submissions for an upcoming International Symposium. This symposium is organized to bring together leading academics and practitioners to reflect on key milestones and opportunities for cultural heritage and sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.

Researchers, academics, and practitioners in heritage-related fields are welcome to submit papers or equivalent submissions that critically engage with heritage conservation, heritage management, sustainable development, risk and resilience of heritage. Submissions from Asian Academy for Heritage Management network members are especially welcome.

Selected participants will be invited to present at the International Symposium (mid-November 2022). The symposium will be organized in hybrid format, accommodating local participants on-site in Beijing, China and international participants online. Papers will contribute to the reflection of the 50th Anniversary of the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage and two decades of the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.

Submissions should be in English and should be emailed to secretariataahm@hotmail.com by 1 October 2022.
