Scientific Workshop: Heritage Economics: From Theory to Policy and Sustainable Development Practice

Friday - May 15, 2026 06:42

Within the framework of the Social Sciences and Humanities Week (SSHWeek 2026) of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU Hanoi, the Faculty of History and Culture is the specialized unit organizing the scientific conference: “Heritage Economy: From Theory to Policy and Sustainable Development Practice”

In the context of globalization, digital transformation, and the rapid development of the creative economy, cultural and natural heritage is increasingly recognized as an important resource for sustainable development, possessing not only cultural and historical value but also significant socio-economic value.

However, in Vietnam, the field of heritage economics still faces many research gaps, including an incomplete theoretical framework, a lack of tools for valuing heritage, and models for governance and benefit distribution that harmonize conservation and development. This situation necessitates the need for in-depth academic forums to exchange ideas, discuss, and propose appropriate policy solutions.

The workshop serves as an academic forum to create a space for in-depth exchange among researchers, lecturers, managers, and students on theoretical issues, methodological approaches, and practical implementation of heritage economics in the context of sustainable development, digital transformation, and international integration.

The workshop aims to achieve the following goals:

• Clarifying the theoretical basis and approach framework of heritage economics in modern social sciences and humanities.

• Sharing research findings, models, and practical experiences in exploiting and promoting the value of heritage

• Discuss policy, governance, and sustainable development issues related to cultural heritage.

• Strengthen academic connections between scientists, training institutions, regulatory bodies, and the practice community.

The workshop focused on the following key areas:

- Theoretical basis and methodological approaches to heritage economics;

- The practical aspects of developing the heritage economy in Vietnam and international experiences;

- Models for managing, exploiting, and distributing value from heritage;

- Institutions, policies, and solutions for developing the heritage economy in the current context;

- The relationship between heritage preservation and sustainable economic development.

Time: 8:00 AM, Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Location: Room 304, Building E, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, 336 Nguyen Trai Street, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi.

We cordially invite distinguished delegates, scientists, lecturers, managers, researchers, trainees, and students interested in attending, exchanging academic ideas, and contributing to the development of the heritage economics field.
