Joint Research Seminar 3 – Hasselt

23 – 27 April 2018

JRS3 has been held at Hasselt University from the 23rd to 27th April 2018. This 5-day event, organised in Hasselt and Genk, has focused on the topic of “Curating public debates on urban heritage futures”. The seminar aimed at reflecting on the notion of ‘curating the city’ (WP2) in relation to urban heritage and the future of spatial heritage in contemporary urban contexts. In particular, the participants have discussed different curatorial strategies which deal with complex heritage projects by supporting the role of heritage as a platform for civic engagement. The first two days included guest lectures, ESR presentations, Supervisory Board and Researchers Council’s meetings. Day 3 and 4 were based on specific workshops with CHEurope and external guest speakers and experts. Day 5 was devoted to a field trip to Antwerpen.
