The conference will take place on 11 November 2026 in Eisenstadt and will present the main outcomes, tools, methodologies, and practical experiences developed throughout the INACO project.

About the Conference

Climate change and increasing extreme weather events are posing growing challenges to the safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage across Central Europe. Floods, droughts, heatwaves, storms, erosion, and other climate-related hazards increasingly threaten historic sites, cultural landscapes, archaeological areas, natural reserves, and heritage-based communities.

The INACO project has addressed these challenges by developing:

• systematic approaches for heritage-sensitive risk management,
• operational protocols and disaster scripts,
• transnational risk management plans,
• digital assessment and mapping tools,
• and training concepts for the emerging role of the Risk Manager for Cultural and Natural Heritage.

The event will bring together project partners, regional authorities, heritage practitioners, and civil protection experts to discuss innovative governance models, digital risk tools and practical resilience solutions across Central Europe.
