European Investment Bank teams up with Europa Nostra to save Europe's Cultural Heritage
-
The Hague/Luxembourg, 24 January 2013 - Europe's leading heritage organisation Europa Nostra has launched today its new flagship programme ‘The 7 Most Endangered’ with the European Investment Bank Group, represented by the EIB Institute, as
its founding partner. This programme will identify endangered monuments
and sites in Europe and mobilize public and private partners on a
local, national and European level to find a sustainable future for
those sites.
“Cultural Heritage is
Europe's greatest asset: our crude oil, our gold reserve. Our heritage
is Europe's bread and butter, as much as it is Europe's heart and soul.
Together with the European Investment Bank, Europa Nostra is proud to
launch ‘The 7 Most Endangered’ programme. If we all work together, we
can stimulate a true renaissance of Europe’s unique cultural heritage “ said Plácido Domingo, President of Europa Nostra.
