Fundación CICOP

Fundación CICOP, the Spanish chapter of the International Centre for the Conservation of Heritage, is a private, nonprofit cultural organization based in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife. Guided by international solidarity and development cooperation, it works to protect, conserve, restore, manage, communicate, and promote cultural heritage. The foundation also supports study, research, knowledge exchange, and training in the methods, techniques, materials, and protocols used to care for heritage and make it accessible for public use and enjoyment.

Its activities include the CICOP awards, courses and workshops, congresses, and an annual symposium. The organization also develops heritage-related projects, including initiatives focused on cultural heritage management and collaboration between the Canary Islands and the Americas. Through its website, CICOP shares news, opinion articles, library resources, and multimedia content, alongside information about its organization, members, and scientific committee. These programs and resources serve people and institutions interested in heritage conservation, restoration, research, and management.
