Reuse of cultural heritage RUVIVAL aims to produce new knowledge about reuse of cultural heritage and cultural landscapes. We seek to uncover adaptive processes and new fields of application that contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage and encourage knowledge-building to meet future social needs in a changing environment.
