The deadline for submitting abstracts for the international symposium, The Further Evolution of Authenticity through the Lens of Heritage Ecosystems has been extended until September 3 (Tuesday), 2024.

The symposium will be held in Takasaki, Japan, on January 10 and 11, 2025, and aims to explore the challenges we face by focusing on the concept of a heritage ecosystem. A heritage ecosystem is understood to encompass the cyclical and organic relationships among various elements that constitute the rich cultural and natural environment of the region and that are connected to the heritage. Because challenges to heritage are ever-changing, the concept of a heritage ecosystem offers a powerful framework for better coping with the challenges that confront us today and those to come.
