European cultural heritage, ways of Saint-James and other European cultural routes

Europa Nostra acts as a relay between civil society and EU institutions, carrying out the crucial tasks of raising-awareness on the value of cultural heritage for Europe, advocating the mainstreaming of heritage into EU policies and securing adequate funding, as well as actively contributing to the EU policy debate and policy-making process.

Since 2014, Europa Nostra is among the selected European networks active in the field of the cultural and creative sectors co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Commission. We are currently running the project "“European Cultural Heritage Agora: Empowering Europe’s Civil Society Movement for Heritage" since 1 January 2022 and until 31 December 2024.

Europa Nostra runs the European Heritage Awards/Europa Nostra Awards scheme since its launch in 2002 by the European Commission. The Awards promote best practices related to heritage conservation, management, research, education and communication. In this way, the Awards scheme contributes to a stronger public recognition of cultural heritage as a strategic resource for Europe’s society and economy.

Europa Nostra also manages The 7 Most Endangered programme which was launched in January 2013 by Europa Nostra with the European Investment Bank Institute as founding partner and the Council of Europe Development Bank as associated partner. The 7 Most Endangered programme identifies endangered monuments and sites in Europe and mobilizes public and private partners on a local, national and European level to find a viable future for those sites.

Europa Nostra organises and contributes to many meetings, forums, capacity building and networking events related to cultural heritage. We also organise an annual European Cultural Heritage Congress gathering hundreds of heritage professionals and volunteers from Europe and beyond.

Europa Nostra coordinates and provides the secretariat for the European Heritage Alliance 3.3, an informal platform of circa 50 European and International networks active in the wider field of cultural heritage.

Europa Nostra has led the European consortium of 21 partners for the implementation of a pilot project establishing the European Heritage Hub pilot project. This ambitious project gathers diverse expertise and pools resources to mobilise and strengthen the cultural heritage-driven movement in Europe. This project, funded by the European Union, runs from May 2023 to April 2025.

Europa Nostra is also an official partner of the New European Bauhaus initiative developed by the European Commission, and is a leading European member and supporter of the Climate Heritage Network.

Europa Nostra has also partnerships with various organisations regarding Awards scheme related to the wider field of cultural heritage: https://heritageinmotion.eu/, Helena Vaz da Silva European Award, Destination of Sustainable Cultural Tourism Awards.

11 meetings found. Download meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
