Working together

conservation and safeguarding of industrial and technological heritage

For a sustainable strategy, the safeguarding and conservation of industrial heritage should be understood as a multidisciplinary process, involving management institutions and other stakeholders in industrial heritage such as academia, industry, volunteer groups, private owners, visitors and educational groups. This wide engagement allows reflection on the processes of recognition and selection of industrial heritage objects and methodologies for their conservation.

The Big Stuff 2022 conference will address the safeguarding and conservation of industrial and technological heritage from different perspectives, such as:

i) In-situ industrial heritage conservation processes;

ii) Experiences and methodologies for operational conservation of industrial objects;

ii) Agents and processes for safeguarding and conservation;

iii) Training of professionals in conservation of industrial and technological heritage.
