Research/New inter-university LDE Centre for Global Heritage and Development
A new heritage centre has been established (autumn 2013) as a strategic alliance between three Dutch universities: Leiden University; Delft University of Technology; and Erasmus University Rotterdam (LDE). The interdisciplinary centre aims to go beyond the more traditional study of heritage, in particular, by focusing on how heritage relates to cultural, social and environmental development. Archaeologist Professor Dr Jan Kolen has been appointed Director of the centre. The official start will be in the autumn of 2014.

Declaration/Hangzhou Declaration: Placing Culture at the Heart of Sustainable Development Policies
The international congress Culture: Key to Sustainable Development took place in the city of Hangzhou, China, from 14-17 May 2013. It was the largest and most high profile global event dedicated to the theme of linking culture and sustainable development since the Intergovernmental Conference on Cultural Policies for Development in Stockholm in 1998. The Congress closed successfully with the adoption of the “Hangzhou Declaration: Placing Culture at the Heart of Sustainable Development Policies” which can be seen as a significant advancement for the possible integration of culture in the post-2015 development agenda.

The Declaration, proceedings and other recordings of the congress are available at www.unesco.org/culture/hangzhou-congress
