The European Heritage Network (HEREIN) brings together government departments responsible for cultural heritage under the umbrella of the Council of Europe. Since it was set up in 1999, the HEREIN network has become a reference point for government bodies, professionals, researchers and non-governmental organisations active in the field of heritage.
