Additionally, the Recovery Support Unit will ensure the development of regulatory frameworks for national legislation on the restoration of cultural heritage and infrastructure, the digital transformation, the development and launch of registries; and lead projects on the development of comprehensive models for institutional and infrastructural recovery of cultural institutions.
