2017

Project of Influence 2017

Best in Heritage

The Best in Heritage conference selects the best, awarded projects from the heritage sector in the preceding year and does so on the global level. It therefore offers unique panorama of quality achievements. Forty-two laureates awarded in 2016 were featured in a packed, three-day programme, representing almost all aspects of best and, indeed, awarded, practices. Last year's winners and the members of the audience, casted their votes to choose one project (in each of the two sessions) as the Project of Influence for the current year. This year featured 28 projects out of which the title of Project of Influence 2017 went to Micropia.
