Europa Nostra 7 Most Endangered Sites 2025 Call & Webinars
All over Europe, our shared cultural heritage is faced with threats such as natural and human-made disasters, climate-change impacts, conflicts, neglect, unsuitable development, or lack of funds. If you know of important heritage in Europe that is endangered, nominate it for Europa Nostra's 7 Most Endangered programme.
If you know an important European heritage site that is endangered, you can nominate it for Europa Nostra's 7 Most Endangered programme 2025. Both tangible and intangible heritage are eligible for the programme, regardless of whether it is publicly or privately owned.
In most cases, the listing of an endangered site serves as a catalyst and incentive for the mobilisation of necessary public or private support, including funding. The listed sites are also eligible for an EIB Heritage Grant of €10,000 per site to assist in implementing an agreed activity that will contribute to saving the threatened sites.
Who can nominate?
- Europa Nostra’s Country Representations, Member and Associate Organisations
- Public and private bodies active in the heritage field located in countries where Europa Nostra is not yet represented
- Member organisations of the European Heritage Alliance
