Heritage is a very broad concept, covering everything from castles to Neapolitan pizza to works of art. But how can we define it, and what constraints and assets does it entail? Using the example of Strasbourg's Palais Universitaire (a UNESCO listed historic monument), a unique example of university heritage from the Wilhelminian imperial era, we'll see how heritage can be alive and must be protected.
