International Peace Conference 2013,
October 9 - 11 2013 WAGENINGEN, THE NETHERLANDS
Call for Abstracts/Sessions
Post-Conflict, Cultural Heritage and Regional Development: An International Conference
The Liberation Day Committee 1945 Wageningen (as member of the European Network of Places of Peace), Wageningen University and Inholland University of Applied Sciences from The Netherlands, are organizing an international conference, on the overarching theme of post-conflict, cultural heritage and regional development. After the inaugural seminar last year, we are pleased to announce the date for the event, and invite individuals to (re)submit abstracts for paper presentations and panel proposals.
Conflicts sometimes lead to violent encounters that result in casualties and damage to infrastructure, housing and the environment. Often, traumatic experiences brought about by these become the subject of commemorations that contribute to places linked to them gaining material, social and/or symbolic significance, within the locality, country or even regionally. This is particularly true when residents and policymakers actively implement initiatives to embrace them as part of collective memory, pedagogy and/or as local heritage attractions for domestic and international visitors. Every year thousands, sometimes millions, of people visit places like Auschwitz, Ground Zero, Hiroshima, Choeung Ek and Gettysburg. Wageningen, marked as the City of Liberation, and the setting for this international conference, also attracts more than 100,000 visitors annually as part of national commemoration and liberation festivals in the Netherlands. These are testament to the popularity of th ese sites although they too can at times be plagued with criticisms and controversy, pertaining to issues like commercialization, sustainability, multiple interpretations of history and so on.
Keynote speakers : professor Gregory Ashworth, Groningen Universiteit, professor Karen Till, National University of Maynooth, Dr. Philip Stone, Central Lancashire University

Presentation
The objective of this colloquium is to facilitate the dialogue between researchers, local actors, managers and experts in order to :
- Review current knowledge and methods on the conditions for good management
of natural and inhabited sites with exceptional heritage value,
- Discuss and improve on the main principles of management through participation
and involvement of the local actors and inhabitants,
- Strengthen cooperation between registered or candidate sites.
The discussions will be in French and English thanks to a simultaneous translation service. In order to facilitate the discussion and debates, the number of participants is limited to 120.
Call for posters
In addition to the papers and case studies presented during the conference, is expected to enrich the discussion with poster presentations
of practical experiences, covering both successes achieved and
difficulties encountered, as well as comparative analyses,
methodological syntheses, and accounts by stakeholders, experts and
researchers. The objective of this call is to gather the greatest
diversity of cases and situations that can then provide material for
discussion during the concluding debate about the management of natural
UNESCO World Heritage properties that are inhabited.
If you want to present a poster, you can submit your abstract up to May 15, 2013:

All persons who submit a summary will receive the decision of the scientific committee by email by June 15, 2013, at the latest.
The scientific committee
will select the most interesting and innovative proposals from the
submitted posters and invite them to contribute a 4-page text (2,000
words). This text will then be integrated into the conference
proceedings after a further review by the scientific committee. In
addition, the committee will select a number of the poster
presentations to be written up as a longer text, which will be
submitted with the speakers’ articles for publication in an
international journal or in a special publication.
