The First Annual International KreativEU Conference, under the theme “Heritage, Science, and Technologies for Sustainable Preservation,” organized by Valahia University of Targoviste and the Knowledge & Creativity European University marks a significant milestone in the realm of cultural heritage preservation. This groundbreaking event is honored to be under the distinguished patronage of The National Commission of Romania for UNESCO, reflecting a commitment to fostering international collaboration and innovation in the crucial field of heritage conservation. As we unite to explore the intersections of heritage, science, and technology, this conference aims to advance sustainable solutions that will safeguard our cultural legacy for future generations. The conference constitutes a pivotal element of our initiative in establishing the KreativEU UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Heritage Preservation, Science, and Communication for Sustainable Communities, headquartered at Valahia University in Targoviste.
