UNESCO is organizing a scientific colloquium in Denmark to focus on one of the key elements in the management and protection of the underwater cultural heritage: public access to it.
A UNESCO Regional Meeting for Northern European States will take place on 8 June 2016 in Copenhagen, open to State representatives only. The regional meeting will be followed by a scientific colloquium on 9 June 2016, open to all interested scientists, to discuss experience with rendering underwater cultural heritage accessible.

Both events will take place in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. They are organized by UNESCO in close cooperation with the National Museum. The working languages of the regional meeting will be French and English. The colloquium will be held in English.

A complementary conference excursion to the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde will be organized on the afternoon of 8 June and an official reception is offered on the evening of that same day.
Registration is by email to Ms Yan Ren (y.ren@unesco.org).
