This Virtual Conference of 15 December will represent a showcase for disseminating the project results and a further opportunity to advocate for improved cultural heritage protection capacities within the Union Civil Protection Mechanism - UCPM.

Being PROCULTHER a UCPM initiative, co-funded by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG-ECHO), all Mechanism Members and Participating States are welcomed to share with us their feedback on the work done as well as their future expectations. In addition, for the widest participation to the event, PROCULTHER Consortium is opening the participation to all International and Non-Governmental Organisations, as well as to experts and professionals active in both the fields of disaster risk management and cultural heritage safeguard.
