The 30 winners of the 2018 edition of the Awards from all over Europe will share their exemplary accomplishments in conservation, research, dedicated service, and education, training and awareness-raising. As a contribution to the European Year of Cultural Heritage, the heritage achievements recognised in 2018 have a significant European dimension.

The Excellence Fair will take place both in the morning and afternoon of 21 June. A networking session will create an occasion for further discussion among the event’s participants.
