The Government would therefore like to invite expressions of interest from qualified individuals with knowledge of cultural and natural heritage to participate on the panel of experts, which will probably number 7-10 members. This will be an important and high-profile contribution to the UK’s cultural and natural heritage, and prospective panel members should have suitable qualifications in relevant fields. The Government will provide a secretariat to support the panel.
Expressions of interest are requested by not later than 5pm on 18 June 2010 viaUKTL.Application@culture.gsi.gov.uk , clearly headed ‘Expert Panel’. Responses should include a CV and contact details. Prospective applicants should be aware that the meetings of the panel are likely to take place in London. Dates have not yet been confirmed, but the panel is expected to meet as follows: September (1 Day); October (2 days); and November (2 days) – there may be the need for additional meetings, notably only the form and content of the final report. Travel and subsistence will be provided, but there will be no additional remuneration available. All panel members must be impartial and should not be involved in the application process for any prospective UK UNESCO World Heritage Site. Anyone who is interested in taking part in the panel should also make it clear if they have any connection with any existing or prospective UNESCO sites.
