First symbolic act of a rapprochement between organizations, they are located within the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage (application for labeling?) ...
In all countries, audiences are showing that they love their heritage. They prove it by being more and more present, more and more assiduously in museums and monuments, as shown by the success of Heritage Days. How to reconcile this craze and the rigor of professionalism? How best to manage audiences when funding is down and costs are rising? How to engage audiences without compromising the quality of scientific work? How to enhance the relevant knowledge that these audiences sometimes have heritage? Etc.
