The Maastricht Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage (MACCH) is a joint initiative between FASoS and the UM Faculty of Law (FL), the School of Business and Economics (SBE), the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences and the Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg (SRAL). The Centre will be launched during the international conference ‘Assembling Value: The Changing Roles of Experts and Expertise in Art and Heritage Worlds’ which will take place on Sunday 22 – Monday 23 March 2015 in Maastricht.
With its unique combination of legal, historical, philosophical, economic and practical expertise, MACCH aims to meet the demands of the increasingly multi-layered and complex challenges facing the fields of arts and heritage today. Focus areas of research and teaching activities are: the changing role of experts and expert knowledge, public participation, and technological mediation. By working across the traditional boundaries that separate academic and professional disciplines and institutions, the centre will be instrumental in building capacity to strengthen existing collaborations and open up new ventures for research.
