Facts: The Heritage Academy aims to be a bridge between the academic world and the surrounding society, in line with the University’s Third Mission. It is a formalization of the objective to strengthen the dialogue between research and practice - a central intersection in the work of cultural heritage. Heritage Academy Day 2016 was the first in the line of annual major events where academia and practice come together for joint work with the cultural heritage in focus.
