Thus, as paradigms, we are faced with the emergence of new heritage and the re-signification/re-use of old ones, leading us to question what heritage is and what it could be (the Noah complex pointed out by Françoise Choay) and how we should approach it. It should be noted that sometimes the conservation of heritage involves giving it new uses, adapting it to new realities and habits, also taking into account the urgency of sustainability and the response to problems such as gentrification, touristification, totemism (heritage fetishism) and façadism. On the other hand, we are alerted to cultural democratization, establishing new bridges between heritage and communities, new ways of communicating and new heritage discourses. It also highlights digital heritage as an emerging category, calling for debate on the means of safeguarding it and the place of artificial intelligence in heritage, also leading to questions about the virtualization of heritage.

For this reason, those interested are invited to rethink heritage in the 21st century by sharing different perspectives together. To this end, proposals are invited in three thematic areas:

• New uses for heritage
• Democratization of heritage
• Digital Heritage

ENEP welcomes the submission of proposals for communication in oral or poster format, as well as reports on experiences.
