The European Commission and Europa Nostra, the leading European heritage network, have announced the winners of this year’s EU Prize for Cultural Heritage/Europa Nostra Awards. 

The 29 laureates from 17 countries have been recognized for their accomplishments in conservation, research, dedicated service, and education, training and awareness-raising. Cultural heritage is in the spotlight throughout 2018 as the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 sees many initiatives and events being organised across the continent to celebrate Europe's rich cultural heritage.

Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Commissioner Tibor Navracsics said: "Cultural heritage in all its different forms is one of Europe’s most precious assets. It builds bridges between people and communities, as well as between the past and the future. It is central to our identity as Europeans, and also has a vital role in driving social and economic development. I congratulate the winners of the 2018 EU Prize for Cultural Heritage/Europa Nostra Awards and their teams for their exceptional and innovative work. Thanks to their talent and commitment, numerous European cultural heritage treasures have been safeguarded and revitalized. And importantly, their work enables people from all backgrounds to discover, explore and engage with our rich cultural heritage, fully in the spirit of the European Year of Cultural Heritage."

More information on the award winners can be found here. They will be honoured at a high-level European Heritage Awards Ceremony, co-hosted by Commissioner Navracsics and Europa Nostra President Maestro Plácido Domingo, on 22 June in Berlin, during the first ever European Cultural Heritage Summit.
