The CHEurope’s 3rd Joint Research Seminar will take place at Hasselt University (Belgium), from the 23rd to 27th April 2018. This 5-day event to be organised in Hasselt and Genk will focus on the topic of “Curating public debates on urban heritage futures”. The main focus of the seminar will be to reflect 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, we are interested in discussing different curatorial strategies which deal with complex heritage projects by supporting the role of heritage as a platform for civic engagement.
