Phase II: Sustainable Heritage / Traditional Wooden and Masonry Buildings in the Baltic Sea Region 2012–2014
The three year project Sustainable Heritage was a partner project in Building Conservation involving Uppsala University, Campus Gotland in Visby, Sweden, the Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn, Estonia and Novia University of Applied Sciences in Ekenäs, Finland. The project was started in 2008 as a result of the interest in all three countries to promote cooperation in a field that is both urgent and valuable and of equal importance in all the participating countries.
