Abstract: Europa Nostra as a non-profit organization based in The Hague. It leverages European programs and awards cultural heritage awards to participating EU countries. The awards promote best practices in heritage conservation, management, research and education. My project has the basic idea of “Interdisciplinarity through the Europa Nostra institution for the award of cultural heritage awards as I experienced it from personal experience”. Greece participated in 2017 with two monuments from the island of Kea and Rhodes. In the project I follow an experiential and anthropocentric approach. The interaction of scientists from different countries is a demanding one. The contribution of the Project is great. It takes place in a European context and connects Europe with the concepts of communication, collaboration between different scientific disciplines to promote art and culture.
