This year the talk will be given by Dr Ulrike Guérin, UNESCO Secretariat of the 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage.

The talk will take place on Friday 24 March from 17:30 – 19:30 in Lecture Theatre A, Avenue Campus.
At a time when the UK government is ever more closely aligning itself with the UNESCO 2001 convention, with formal adoption becoming a possibility, this talk represents a chance to hear about the value and importance of our shared cultural heritage and how it can be protected. It also offers a chance to gain an insight into how policy is shaped and enacted at a global scale.
