the europe + heritage programme

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.
