It acts as a partner in international research projects – in recent years these are the projects ILUCIDARE - International Network for Leveraging Successful Cultural Heritage-Led Innovations and Diplomacy through Capacity Building and Awareness Raising and HOMEE - Heritage Opportunities / Threats within Mega-Events in Europe Changing Environments, New Challenges and Possible Solutions for Preservation in Mega-Events Embedded in Heritage-Rich European Cities. The Institute also organises specialised, interdisciplinary international conferences and seminars, the subject of which oscillates around issues related to the broadly understood cultural heritage. The research mission of the Institute is also carried out through its own project of the Internet encyclopaedia "Polish St. Petersburg" and cooperation with foreign partners and specialists, including membership in cultural networks and international organisations. Finally, the ICC Library, which has the status of a scientific library, collects Polish and international publications on cultural heritage and the new philosophy of its management.
