We are proud to share that Spyridon St. Kogkas, CEO & Co-founder of Imagine Heritage, was invited as a speaker at the international “Heritage Science” Conference in Bucharest, Romania.

In his speech on “Heritage Management & Educational Tourism”, he highlighted the urgent need for a European transition toward a Third Sector Economy, calling for a new civil society economic strategy with sustainable funding and management tools that go beyond dependence on the State or the market.

Using Romania as a case study, he emphasized its emerging role as a cultural, educational, and civic force within the European context — demonstrating how heritage can actively shape social and economic change.

We sincerely thank Ms. Oana Zaharia and the National Institute of Heritage (Institutul Național al Patrimoniului) for the invitation and excellent organization, and we congratulate all contributors for creating a truly inspiring scientific and interdisciplinary environment.

👏 Congratulations also to the co-organizers and partners:
Asociația ARCHÉ | Academia de Studii Economice din București | Raiffeisen Bank Romania

🇷🇴 Thank you, Romania, for embracing Imagine Heritage’s vision and proposals for a future-driven heritage sector.
