Network for Religious Heritage

Together with leading Dutch and international heritage organizations and with university partners across the Netherlands, the Centre for Religion and Heritage is launching a Network for Religious Heritage. In the upcoming two academic years, starting in September 2020, the Network is organizing a series of workshops in which scholars and heritage professionals explore the latest issue in heritage with university students and members of the public. Internships and a summer school are also planned.

The ambition of this network is threefold:

• To bring the leading scholars of heritage into dialogue with churches, museums, secular church foundations and government agencies;
• To train the next generation of heritage professionals;
• To undertake cutting-edge research into religious cultural heritage.
