ICOMOS Executive Committee Member Christoph Machat to receive
Georg Dehio Prize 2009
Christoph
Machat, ICOMOS Executive Committee member and Vice-President of ICOMOS Germany,
is to receive the Georg Dehio Prize (Georg Dehio-Kulturpreis) in October 2009.
The prize is awarded by the German Cultural Forum for Eastern Europe (Deutsches
Kulturforum ostliches Europa).
The Jury recognized Christoph Machat's lifelong commitment
to and achievements in researching, documenting and preserving the
architectural heritage of Transylvania (Siebenburgen). Under his leadership,
the Cultural Council of Transylvania-Saxony documented the entirety of
German-influenced Cultural Landscapes in Transylvania. The resulting bilingual
(German/Romanian) series of publications "Topography of Monuments in
Transylvania" ("Denkmaltopographie zu Siebenburgen"), which was edited by Mr.
Machat, played a decisive role in the preservation of the historic monuments of
Saxony and Transylvania and can be considered exemplary for other regions in
Middle- and Eastern Europe.

Conference: Pacific Island Archaeology in the 21st Century -
Relevance and Engagement
1-3 July
2009, Koror (Palau)
The conference - Pacific Island Archaeology in the 21st
Century: Relevance and Engagement - examines how natural and cultural heritage
studies and archaeology are relevant to the sociopolitical, economic, and
environmental challenges facing contemporary and future societies in Pacific
islands. How can knowledge of the past inform current perceptions, decisions,
and actions of local communities in relation to their heritage? How do these
connections encourage the engagement of researchers with the local community
and of the indigenous community with heritage investigations?
Among the speakers at the
conference are Rufino Mauricio, president of ICOMOS Pasifika, and Christophe
Sand, also of ICOMOS Pasifika.

In Asia and the Pacific region, there are various forms of
cultural heritage including those made of wooden structures which are of great

partnership with ICCROM and Bunkacho has been organising training courses since
2000 on this topic with a view to building the capacities of professionals who
have been working on cultural heritage protection in the region. This training
course aims to provide participants with the latest methods and techniques for

Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC): 10th World Congress: Revitalization of Historical Centers
7-14
September, Quito (Ecuador)
The revitalization of historical cities goes beyond the
preservation and conservation of their fabric. It requires a process that takes
into account all the cultural values embedded in the spatial and physical
components of the place, and involves residents and all the relevant
participants from the public and private sectors to ensure the appropriate and
sustainable conservation and development of the historic centres.
The 10th World Congress of the Organization of World
Heritage Cities will examine the pivotal role of heritage conservation and
social engagement as a catalyst for urban regeneration and revitalization and
for the development of sustainable solutions to secure lively and liveable
cities.
To articulate the theme the organizers of the Congress have
developed a program that includes four keynote presentations, several small
group discussions centred on questions raised by the presentations, a poster
session featuring case study analyses related to the Congress' theme, and
activities for a select group of university students in Quito, who will
contribute their ideas in the context of the 10th Congress' host city.

Programme, registration modalities, fees and accommodation, please consult the
