The European Cultural Heritage Summit 2024 is set to occur in Bucharest, Romania, from October 6 to 8. This event offers a valuable platform to discuss and promote the political, environmental, and societal significance of cultural heritage for Europe and its citizens. The summit is held under the patronage of the President of Romania, H.E. Klaus Iohannis.
