A Future for Industrial Heritage in Malta

Industrial heritage consists of the remains of industrial culture which are of historical, technological, social, architectural or scientific value. These remains consist of buildings and machinery, workshops, mills and factories, mines and sites for processing and refining, warehouses and stores, places where energy is generated, transmitted and used, transport and all its infrastructure, as well as places used for social activities related to industry such as housing, religious worship or education. (TICCIH Charter)

The Industrial Heritage Platform at the University of Malta is organising a national conference on the Future for Industrial Heritage in Malta. The goal of the conference is to explore current challenges in Industrial heritage conservation, preservation in situ and adaptive reuse in Malta.

The Conference shall bring together different entities and experts on Industrial Heritage in the Maltese Islands to explore future strategies towards a better understanding, appreciation and valorisation of industrial heritage machinery and buildings.
