Monument conservation conference – Rómer Flóris Plan
Under the title Rómer Flóris Plan – Renewing Hungarian Monuments in the Carpathian Basin, Teleki László Foundation will hold a two-day international monument conservation conference in National Széchényi Library on April 12 and 13, 2018. With the participation of monument conservation experts from Hungary and the Carpathian Basin, the conference will not only present the achievements of Rómer Flóris Plan in 2017, but it will also provide an opportunity for specialists working in the Carpathian Basin to have consultations and professional debates. The conference will be opened by Dr. Csaba Latorcai, Deputy State Secretary for Public Affairs, Heritage and High Priority Cultural Investment Projects at the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office.
In order to express its commitment to Hungarian communities across the borders and to preserve monuments of our nation’s history, the Hungarian Government launched Rómer Flóris Plan in October 2015, based on the beyond-the-borders pillar of the National Heritage Program launched in 1999.
The restoration and renovation of nearly one hundred Hungary-related monuments, located outside Hungary, have started within the framework of Rómer Flóris Plan. In the framework of individual decisions, this year HUF 146 million, while from open tender budgets, HUF 40.2 million have been spent on Hungarian built heritage located beyond the borders of Hungary.
On top of that, the Plan – with some HUF 8.8 million support amount – provided help to recover from monument damages caused by storms sweeping through Transylvania in September 2017.
The international conference will also feature an award ceremony, during which the Granasztói György Award established by Teleki László Foundation will be handed over, on the second occasion in 2018. Granasztói György Award – for the Hungarian monuments of the Carpathian Basin goes to a person who has done a great deal to preserve the Hungarian monuments of the Carpathian Basin.
