On 20-21 April 2017, the Research Team of the project HEURIGHT – The Right to Cultural Heritage – Its Protection and Enforcement through Cooperation in the European Union, a project co-financed by the European Commission (JPI Heritage Plus – Horizon 2020) is organising, in cooperation with the Editorial Board of the Santander Art and Culture Law Review, an international conference entitled ‘Cultural Heritage in the European Union: Legal Perspectives and Contemporary Challenges’. Its main objective is to present and debate the research already undertaken within the framework of the project. Accordingly, the conference aims to discuss how human rights guarantees in relation to cultural heritage are being understood and implemented in the European Union (EU) and in its neighbouring countries. Acknowledging the changing and often contested nature of the right to cultural heritage (or more precisely the right to access or enjoyment of cultural heritage), it will endeavour to map how this right’s evolving content affects the forms of protection, access to, and governance of cultural heritage, within the institutional, operational and legal structures of the EU. In particular, it will deal with the complex organizational and regulatory frameworks concerned with cultural heritage and human rights in place in the EU Members States, as well as their interaction, cross-fertilization, and possible overlaps. The event will be hosted by the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, and its co-organised by the Faculty of Artistic Education of the University of Fine Arts in Poznan, Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and Santander Art and Culture Law Review.
