30th September 2017: Abstract deadline The "3rd International Conference on Best Practices in World Heritage: Integral Actions" will take place in less than one year (2-5 of May 2018) and we would like to repeat the success of previous events which were dedicated to People and Communities (2015) and Archaeology (2012).
