- Identify the opportunities to celebrate places of Outstanding
Universal Value because of their role in these areas or as landmarks
of scientific achievement, and inscribe them on the World Heritage
List;

Committee at its 32nd session for the nomination and evaluation
of sites which represent milestones and achievements in science
and technology and are of Outstanding Universal Value;
- Recommend a framework for the Advisory Bodies (ICOMOS and IUCN)
working with the World Heritage Centre to implement future thematic
studies in this area;
- Recommend to the 32nd Session of the World Heritage Committee
potential additions to Annex 3 of the Operational Guidelines for
