Welcome

ICOMOS Argentina, an organisation with 40 years of uninterrupted local presence, committed to the protection and dissemination of cultural heritage, has the honour of hosting the 2018 ICOMOS Annual General Assembly, Advisory Committee and Scientific Symposium “Sustainability: cultural heritage and sustainable development”. It is a great pleasure to welcome the ICOMOS community to the meetings that will take place in the cities of Buenos Aires and La Plata. We have combined the working sessions that will take place throughout the week of 4-8 December with a variety of recreational activities giving ICOMOS members the possibility to enjoy the rich cultural and natural heritage of the cities of Buenos Aires, La Plata and Tigre, and to experience the majestic Teatro Colón; the only house of Le Corbusier in America, recently declared World Heritage; and other sites, monuments and expressions of heritage value. On behalf of the National Committee of ICOMOS, I wish you the best stay in our country.

With the UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs), the New Urban Agenda adopted at Habitat III, and the ICOMOS resolutions 18GA 2014/37 and 19GA 2017/21, it has become a critical priority to focus on how cultural heritage can contribute to inclusive sustainable development. The 2018 ICOMOS Scientific Symposium to be held in La Plata (on the occasion of the ICOMOS Advisory Committee taking place in Buenos Aires in the preceding days) invites session proposals focusing on “the role that cultural heritage can play in sustainable development […] to identify methods of assessing tradeoffs and building synergies so that cultural values and community concerns are integrated in development processes.” Debates at the 19th ICOMOS General Assembly held in New Delhi, December 2017, suggest that the following sub-themes need further discussion. We invite session proposals on: • Relationship of culture and nature and climate action • Intangible heritage, local knowledge and cultural diversity • Education and training for capacity building • Governance and rights • Integration of heritage in urban planning tools and discourses Format of the Scientific Symposium The Scientific Symposium will use a new format that offers a range of opportunities for delegates to explore and engage with the overall theme. Symposium sessions can take a variety of formats including knowledge cafés/workshops and thematic papers as case-study sessions. Posters may also be submitted. The final mix of sessions will depend on the quality and range of session proposals received. Posters will be the only individual submissions accepted; all other submissions must be for whole SESSIONS. Please do not send individual paper proposals unless you are proposing a poster – instead, develop ideas with colleagues – and propose a workshop or case study session proposal. Please identify the ICOMOS National Committee and/or International Scientific Committee that you belong to. Participants are advised that unfortunately ICOMOS is unable to assist with travel costs. Participants must register for the event according to the modalities that will be published on the ICOMOS website. Buenos Aires, Argentina ICOMOS Argentina info@icomos.org.ar
