Since 2025, ASGP has contributed to the organization of a yearly series of "Conversations on" the most topical and complex issues related to art and antiquities market regulation, cultural heritage protection, and issues of repatriation of contested cultural objects.

These events, organized since 2022, are part of UCSC's "Law and the Arts" course in the MA programme on Methods and Topics in Arts Management (Economia e Gestione dei Beni Culturali e dello Spettacolo), but are traditionally open also to students from other MA (as well as BA and PhD) programmes (in the same and in other universities), as well as to curators, art historians, archaeologists, people working in cultural institutions, collectors, art market operators, law practitioners, law enforcement officers, and anybody interested. 

The 2026 series of open events is supported by the International Society of Economic Criminology and is conceived also as a free introduction to ASGP's new Summer School on Art and Cultural Heritage: Law, Policy and Practice (29 June - 3 July 2026).
