Europe’s 7 Most Endangered Monuments and Sites Announced

EIB Institute’s cooperation with Europa Nostra moves into its next operational phase

Europa Nostra and the European Investment Bank Institute, founding partner of ‘The 7 Most Endangered’ programme, will undertake rescue missions to these heritage sites after the summer. More specifically, experts appointed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), an associate partner, will provide analysis and advice on how funding could be obtained, for example, through European Union funds or, in appropriate cases, loans. The initial rescue action plans will be presented at the European Heritage Policy Conference, organised by Europa Nostra, in Brussels on 5 December 2013.

Nominations for the “7 Most Endangered” in 2014 can be submitted until 1 November 2013.
