In future, heritage should be called upon to reinforce the vital role of endangered cultural identity and diversity as keys to development.<\/p>\n<p>Selected among 470 abstracts received, 60 papers will be presented at the Symposium in addition to some 100 other presentations which have been retained for short presentations so as to ensure a maximum participation of ICOMOS members at the Scientific Symposium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Details<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Type of Event<\/th>\n<td>Special Event<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Start<\/th>\n<td>27.11.2011 08:00 local time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>End<\/th>\n<td>02.12.2011 17:00 local time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Date to be fixed<\/th>\n<p>0<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Responsible<\/th>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>UNESCO Responsible<\/th>\n<td>Centre documentation ICOMOS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Country<\/th>\n<td>France<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>City<\/th>\n<td>Paris<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Venue<\/th>\n<td>UNESCO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Street<\/th>\n<td>7 place de Fontenoy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Room<\/th>\n<td>Room I<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Contact<\/th>\n<td>www.icomos-paris2011.com<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Permanent Delegation Contact<\/th>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Major Programme<\/th>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Themes<\/th>\n<td>Culture<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Language of Event<\/th>\n<td>English, French<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17th ICOMOS General Assembly and Scientific Symposium \u2018Heritage, driver of development\u2019 This most important triennial gathering of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) will be followed by a Scientific Symposium which will explore the theme under four sub-headings: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &#8211; Regional development, &#8211; Development and return to the art of building, &#8211; Development as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-regional-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=428"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":432,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428\/revisions\/432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africa-and-science.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
