Supporting and Developing WIdening Strategies to tackle Hydroclimatic Extreme Events: impacts and Sustainable solutions for cultural heritage.
The project SD-WISHEES
Address together the protection and sustainable management of cultural heritage in Europe

Cultural heritage is defined by the UNESCO as the legacy we receive from the past, which we live in the present and which we will pass on to future generations - it is who we are and what shapes our identity. Cultural heritage does not end at monuments and collections of objects. It also embeds intangible culture and natural sites.
