The Regional Secretariat for Northwest Europe and North America together with the host city Luxembourg has the honor to invite all our active members to its Regional Conference. We will meet 22-24 September 2025 under the central theme “Living Heritage: Designing Human-Centered Cities for the Future”.

Agenda:

On Monday 22nd, it is arrival day and getting to know the World Heritage City Luxembourg in different thematic tours. We will kick off our conference officially on Tuesday 23rd in the morning and get input from key speakers on the following three sub-topics:
