On 6 June 2023, we received a group of experts from different backgrounds at ICCROM headquarters to talk about a potential partnership initiative for the protection of cultural property in times of crisis. The group, composed of Lynn Meskell, University of Pennsylvania; Andrea Cayley, Arizona State University; Laurie Rush, US Army Fort Drum; and Ankie Petersen, Royal Netherlands Army, met with our FAR team. During the meeting, the guests provided us with a summary of the discussions of the Seminar "The Uses of Heritage in International Security and Policy" that brought them to Rome.
We look forward to continuing the discussion and working together to reduce risks stemming from conflicts to tangible and intangible assets and associated communities in times of crisis.
