Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) - Multi purpose area 2

Description

Hybrid conferene with simultaneous translation (German/English)

Conflicts and disasters pose an extreme threat not only to people and the environment, but also to cultural heritage. Unlike movable cultural assets, built heritage cannot be evacuated and stored elsewhere. The possibilities for comprehensive documentation are also limited at the moment of a crisis. The war of aggression against Ukraine, the armed conflicts in the Middle East, but also catastrophes such as the floods in the Ahrtal are current examples of an ever-present danger that poses a great challenge for the protection and rescue of built heritage - from world heritage sites to small historical buildings.
