On 31 March 2023, a consultation between the staff members of the International Centre on Space Technologies for Natural and Cultural Heritage under the Auspices of UNESCO (HIST) and the International Institute for Central Asian Studies (IICAS) was held online. The prospects of mobilizing the remote sensing technologies for the monitoring of cultural heritage sites across the Silk Roads corridors (both nominated and inscribed) were among the key discussion items. Besides, the parties conversed on the challenges, approaches, and best practices and summarized the outcomes of the joint efforts to assess the change of the setting of component sites of the Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor World Heritage property. HIST and IICAS confirmed their adherence to intensifying mutual collaboration in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding, signed in 2019 in Beijing, China.

IICAS is also pleased to highlight that the Webinar on Space Technologies for Cultural Heritage Conservation hosted by HIST under the auspices of UNESCO and ICOMOS on 30 March 2023 was a complete success and managed to become a platform for a number of international experts to discuss the state of affairs in the field and future research prospects.
