A little bit of history

The first European Heritage Summit was organised in London on 26–28 April 2006 by Dr. Simon Thurley, former Chief Executive Officer of English Heritage. The mission of the Summit was to gather  the European cultural heritage leaders for the first time, creating an opportunity to exchange on their experiences heritage management and initiate common actions. The first Summit was attended by 23 European states which agreed, in the Final Statement of the Summit, to continue meeting annually as a forum of European heritage heads, known as the “European Heritage Heads Forum”. Each year, future hosting countries are chosen by general agreement at the annual meeting, so that the tradition may perpetuate.
