The ICCROM-IUCN World Heritage Leadership programme, coordinator of the PANORAMA Nature-Culture Thematic Community, has launched a call for applications for research-practice teams to join the pilot phase of the Heritage Place Lab.

The Heritage Place Lab is an online-based incubator that aims to initiate long-term research-practice cooperation, promoting international networking and dissemination. The Lab will bring together World Heritage site managers and researchers to co-create innovative, holistic and inclusive solutions for World Heritage site management.

The Heritage Place Lab will be an opportunity to steer practice-based research and jointly work in projects that may become case studies in PANORAMA.
