After a chequered 2020 we are looking forward to the myriad of new projects, publications and events that 2021 will bring us. Among many other things, we are fondly anticipating the publication of our 'Living (World) Heritage Cities. Insights from Archaeology and History, Geography and Social Sciences, Planning and Design' volume (Leiden University Press), and we are already working on our next summer school: Transboundary Trade of Cultural Objects. Last but not least, with vaccination programs on the way internationally, we hope to be able to welcome you once again to our events in person and discuss all things heritage.
