Greetings from Heritage Portal!

Your opinions are needed! You can vote for your favourite European cultural heritage project for the Europa Nostra People's Choice Award 2012, and take part in an online survey by the EU-CHIC project, which aims to track changes to buildings and other tangible cultural heritage over time. Meanwhile, we invite you to take a look at the links below to see how new research is revealing the truth about the age of French cave art, and the arrival of the earliest farmers on Cyprus, plus other news, information, vacancies, events and more.

Share your news with Heritage Portal - and please recommend us to your colleagues and networks!
