European Heritage Hub
The European Heritage Hub is an EU-funded initiative bringing together heritage actors and initiatives across Europe to support the green, digital and social transformation of our society. The Hub launched in May 2023 for an initial two-year pilot project and is currently in its Preparatory Action phase.
The European Heritage Hub is run by a consortium of 28 partners led by Europa Nostra. From heritage institutions and civil society organisations to universities and historic cities, the Hub gathers a wide array of expertise and experience from across Europe.
The Hub covers the whole of Europe, including EU neighbouring countries with a special focus on Ukraine, Moldova, the Caucasus and Western Balkans.
The Hub’s activities are amplified through dedicated City Hubs, each focusing on a specific geographical or thematic area: Krákow, Athens, Lisbon, Nicosia, Belgrade, Kyiv and Yerevan.
Objectives
- Strengthen the capacity of the European heritage ecosystem
- Empower youth through inclusive and participatory heritage governance
- Advance evidence-based and transformation-oriented heritage policies
- Strengthen geographic outreach and regional engagement
- Raise awareness of the multifaceted value of cultural heritage
- Foster cross-programme synergies and EU-level cooperation
Priority Areas
The European Heritage Hub uses the concept of ‘triple transformation’ (green, social and digital) as an overarching theme for all its activities, from networking and capacity building to policy and advocacy efforts.
In its Preparatory Action phase, the Hub is building on the triple transformation with specific ten Priority Areas:
Activities
- EVENTS – Participate in online or in-person events across Europe. Feature your own events via the Hub’s website.
- FUNDING & OPEN CALLS – Discover the Hub’s Small Grants Scheme for heritage projects led by civil society organisations in EU neighbouring countries, and stay up-to-date on other Open Calls.
- TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES – Keep an eye out for peer-learning visits and intergenerational climate conversations fostering exchange of best practices and co-creation on issues related to heritage and the triple transformation.
- SOCIAL FORUM – Join the Hub’s online Social Forum, providing a dedicated virtual space for the heritage community to connect, share and reflect.
- POLICY MONITOR – Explore the Hub’s online tool mapping out policies impacting cultural and natural heritage across European, national and local levels. Findings feed into research-backed recommendations for future legislation.
- HERITAGE LIBRARY – Dive into the Hub’s digital repository of heritage-related materials, offering a multilingual collection of resources ranging from research papers to case studies and audiovisual content. Looking to showcase your work? Make sure to submit it.
