ICOMOS has issued a statement on 8^th June 2021 in light of the conflict in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territory.

After 11 years working at ICOMOS International Secretariat as head of the Documentation Centre, Lucile Smirnov has said goodbye to ICOMOS to take up a new position in another institution.

ICOMOS is proud to share the French translation of the leading publication on climate change and heritage: « L’Avenir de notre Passé : Engager le patrimoine culturel dans l'action pour le climat » ("Future of our Pasts”).

The results of the project "3DPAST - Living & virtual visiting European World Heritage" have just been published. This ICOMOS-supported initiative aims to contribute to the protection and awareness of the quality of vernacular heritage.

Today is the launch of CHARTER (Cultural Heritage Actions to Refine Training, Education and Roles), an Erasmus+ project, starting from January 2021 until December 2024 with a Consortium of 21 full members including ICOMOS and its International Scientific Committee CIF (International Scientific Commitee on Training), 7 affiliate partners and 19 associate members from 14 EU states. 

The University of Cape Town in South-Africa and the properties adjacent to the main campus are currently under the flames of a fire from Table Mountain which has already destroyed a large part of the cultural landscape of the Rhodes Estate, the historic Tea Room next to the Rhodes Memorial, several buildings on the main campus including the Jagger Library with its internationally significant collection of historic archival documents and books and the Fuller Hall residence.
