The European Heritage Network is a permanent information system bringing together governmental services in charge of heritage protection within the Council of Europe. The European heritage Network focuses on cultural heritage, particularly on architectural and on archaeological heritage in the context of: * The European Cultural Convention (1954) * The Convention for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of Europe (1985) * The European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage (1992) * The European Landscape Convention (2000) Widely accessible (to conservation professionals, heritage managers, research workers, members of associations, young people, etc), the Network exists to encourage and facilitate the setting-up of projects and partnerships. It is an international catalyst for initiatives and an ideal “meeting place” for the heritage family and a number of professions and persons active in this sphere who are looking for ways to improve their co-operation. The European-Heritage Network was set-up thanks to an exemplary co-operation between the Council of Europe and the European Union, through the “HEREIN” project.
