ICCROM has developed well-received programmes for capacity building, research, and knowledge dissemination based on decades of experience and a wealth of valuable partners worldwide.
More than ever, the international community considers the protection of cultural heritage — its presentation and transmission to future generations — as an imperative. ICCROM serves the international community by offering courses, promoting international dialogue, facilitating global networks, disseminating information, and producing teaching materials in five main thematic areas.
|
 |
Disaster and risk management
ICCROM plays an active role in coordinating the efforts of the international heritage community in the wake of disasters and promoting data collection and exchange. Training opportunities for cultural heritage professionals and humanitarian workers are provided through several courses covering this theme. |
|
 |
Integrating material science and technology with conservation
ICCROM works to foster strong relationships between scientists in cultural heritage research and other conservation professionals with the aim of a broader collaboration across continents and disciplines. |
|
 |
Improving conservation and management practices in World Heritage
As an Advisory Body to the World Heritage Convention, ICCROM is in a unique position to help its Member States improve conservation and management of World Heritage properties and a wider range of sites. |
|
 |
People-centered approaches to conservation: living heritage
ICCROM has pioneered new approaches to conservation and management of cultural heritage such as: conserving the sacred, the living heritage approach, and assessing values of collections as a basis for conservation decision-making. |
|
 |
Building regional collaboration
Regional activities are able to focus on cultural practices, materials, and problems common to specific geographical areas. Organizing activities at this level can help achieve regional goals through the understanding of common needs, networking opportunities, and the ability to address focused conservation and heritage management strategies in depth. |
