Online International Conference series on the Craft of the Miller 🌍

For a number of years now, De Hollandsche Molen have been running a series of online (and free of charge) conferences titled the Craft of the Miller. The inspiration for the conferences was when in 2017, the craft of the miller became the Netherlands' first entry onto the Representative List of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Since the craft of milling is international, the intention of the conferences is

to build a sustainable network and bring parties together to share knowledge, skills and experiences in the field of mills, the safeguarding of the craft of the miller and create worldwide publicity for the craft of millers.

So far in 2025 there have been conferences on

• Watermill biotope - discussing the watermill landscape, and possible threats to it
• Millstones

The next conference is planned for October about German mills and millers, but details are not yet available.
