ICOMOS is publishing a new version of the "European Quality Principles for EU-funded Interventions with potential impact upon Cultural Heritage". This new version has been updated based on the feedback from partners and stakeholders. This document provides guidance on quality principles for stakeholders engaged in EU-funded interventions that could impact cultural heritage, mainly built heritage and cultural landscapes.

ICOMOS is participating at the Virtual Conference, “Heritage and our Sustainable Future: Research, Practice, Policy and Impact”, with expert contributions to several sessions of the conference.

In 1982, ICOMOS established 18 April as the International Day for Monuments and Sites, followed by UNESCO adoption during its 22nd General Conference. Each year, on this occasion, ICOMOS proposes a theme for activities to be organized by its members, National and International Scientific Committees, partners, and anyone who wants to join in marking the Day.

Getty Conservation Institute in collaboration with ICOMOS ISC20C (the 20^th Century Heritage International Scientific Committee) released “The Twentieth-Century Historic Thematic Framework,” a free online tool for architecture and heritage conservation professionals around the world.

ICOMOS Germany continues its remarkable work of monitoring endangered cultural heritage around the world. As former ICOMOS President Toshiyuki Kono pointed out at the opening of this report, "over the past 20 years, this series of publications has presented many heritage sites facing various difficulties, and has drawn the attention of a wider public to the risks caused by different types of natural disasters, destructive human activities and excessive economic development".

Amund Sinding-Larsen of Our Common Dignity Initiative was awarded the highest distinction of ICOMOS on the closing day of the recent 20^th ICOMOS General Assembly, held online from 3-16 December 2020.
