The ERIH project was founded in 1999 with the objective of fostering growing awareness of our shared European industrial heritage, taking it from what was perceived as a limited niche market to a mainstream cultural and tourism product. ERIH was established as legal entity in 2008 and has continued to grow. The network has become a respected voice for European industrial heritage sites and industrial heritage tourism, encouraging the economic well-being of ERIH sites and associated former industrial areas. Industrialisation has never been just a national phenomenon; it has always had a European dimension. With almost 2,000 industrial heritage sites in 47 countries ERIH is the most comprehensive cultural and tourism inventory of industrial heritage in Europe. It includes 110 Anchor Points, 21 Regional Routes, more than 160 biographies and descriptions of the industrial history of almost all European countries. Through the current project ERIH aims to make Industrial Heritage “Fit for the Future”. The planned activities aim to secure succession planning in the sector. ERIH members have developed activities to save and transfer skills, know-how and competencies; support job opportunities, encourage international cooperation. ERIH encourages closer links between cultural players and universities to provide students with better information about study and work opportunities. To promote industrial heritage ERIH created a European dance event WORK-IT-OUT and two exhibitions «LINKING EUROPE» and “CHANGE WITH AN IMPACT”. The idea is to strengthen cross-marketing in the network. As the primary network for European industrial heritage tourism ERIH will continue to work closely with other relevant European networks. In cooperation with the European Heritage Alliance 3.3 and the Cultural Heritage Forum ERIH works on a long-term concept for the promotion of European Cultural Heritage. In 2019 ERIH was certified as a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. |
