The Europe + Heritage programme offers advice, a travel grant scheme and a support grant scheme for European heritage cooperation.

  
Heritage can be both tangible and intangible: it includes natural heritage, built and archaeological sites, museums, monuments, artworks, historic cities, literary, musical and audio-visual works, and the knowledge, practices and traditions of citizens.

  
DutchCulture supports sustainable heritage cooperation between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Europe by supporting and facilitating (international) expert meetings and exchanges while underlining the European context of heritage. We identify trends and opportunities and are in close contact with the heritage field. Please keep us up to date on your tangible and intangible heritage projects with and within Europe by sending us an email.

  
**For whom**

The Europe + Heritage Programme is designed for heritage organisations and professionals that are based in the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Netherlands, Aruba, Bonaire and Sint Maarten) and wish to visit a European partner, invite a European partner or set up a cooperation with a European partner.

  
DutchCulture offers consultations in English or Dutch to organisations and individuals who want to start a European heritage project. We do so by offering information about national and international funding opportunities and connecting projects and organisations to international partners. Please do not hesitate to contact Jacomine Hendrikse, advisor Europe + Heritage, to schedule your consultation.

As of February 2024, a pilot programme for the Caribbean part of the Kingdom offers an increased travel voucher to applicants based in Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten. With a travel voucher of €1.500 instead of €250 for applicants based in the Netherlands, we hope to stimulate cooperation between the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Europe. The amount of the Travel Grant Scheme remains the same for all applicants based in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is a maximum of €5.000.

  
DutchCulture supports heritage cooperation between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Europe by offering two grant schemes: the Travel Grant Scheme and the Support Grant Scheme.

  
**1\. Europe + Heritage Travel Grant Scheme (Reiskostenregeling)**

Cooperation starts with establishing contact and getting to know each other. To facilitate this, DutchCulture has created the Travel Grant Scheme. Under this scheme, vouchers of **€250** (for applicants based in the Netherlands) or **€1.500** (for applicants based in Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten or Saba - the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands).

  
**2\. Europe + Heritage Support Grant Scheme (Ondersteuningsregeling)**

The goal of the Support Grant Scheme is to promote the establishment of contacts with the European heritage sector and the exchange of knowledge between the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. The Support Grant Scheme offers grants of **€5.000** maximum.
