世界遺產研究中心

自2000年以來，即已擔任聯合國教科文組織世界遺產中心主任的佛蘭西斯科‧班德林（Francesco Bandarin，義大利籍），在4月間被任命為主管文化部門的聯合國教科文組織新任助理總幹事。

班德林先生是建築與都市規劃方面的專家，之前無論在公私兩個領域都在遺產建構、文化遺產保護、遺產環境及其它文化等事務領域長期耕耘，並對發展中國家的建築與都市計畫做出貢獻。在世界遺產中心主任的職務上，班德林先生引導打造出整個世界遺產保護伙伴關係的龐大公私網絡，並且在全世界各地的每個角落廣為發展及設置一系列的「地區二類中心」。

聯合國教科文組織總幹事愛琳納‧波克娃是在4月14日向聯合國教科文組織執行局成員國通報她對高階管理新團隊成員的任命決定。波克娃的任期始於去年11月15日，當時她已矢言將會挑選出一個「強而有力，精實幹練，始終如一，且深具衝勁的團隊」來引領教科文組織往前邁進。
