Luxor and Aswan, Egypt

There is a wealth of architectural heritage worldwide, from historic city centers and cultural landscapes to some of the largest archaeological sites in the world.

Conserving such inheritance is a challenging task that requires sustained commitment, interdisciplinary effort, and international cooperation.

IEREK seeks to address the complex challenge of conserving architectural heritage through this conference to increase the awareness of how citizensvalue and save our heritage more effectively.

This conference is planned to be held on board a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, Egypt. Overlooking the Nile River, these two cities include a considerable percentage of the world's monuments, thereby offering a historic context to the conference.

This conference helps university researchers, professionals and policy makers to get together to discuss the most pressing issues concerning the conservation of archaeological, architectural and urban landscapes. More specifically. The main goal of the conference is to discuss multi-disciplinary research on complex Cultural Heritage sites, ranging from archaeological ruins to historical architecture and centers.

Scientific research will foster the attempt to improve the know-how in the field. Expected results include a better understanding of the problems facing architecture heritage, the development of policies favoring its conservat\ion, the definition of practical guidelines and the organization of training and awareness activities.
