The Interpret Europe Conference 2018 is being organised by the Hungarian Association of Cultural Heritage Managers (KÖME). The conference is part of the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage.
The theme of this year's conference is 'Heritage and Identity'. The question of identity is key when it comes to one's feelings towards Europe in all its diversity and one's relationship with single nation states, regions and local communities. One European region where identities most intermingle is the Austro-Hungarian border area. The conference will be run as a border-crossing event, starting with a pre-conference tour in Vienna travelling onto Hungary and ending with a post-conference tour in Budapest.
