Launched in 2013, the ‘7 Most Endangered Programme’ run by Europa Nostra forms part of a civil society campaign to save Europe’s endangered heritage. 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 selected site to assist in implementing an agreed activity that will contribute to saving the threatened sites.

Since 2013 a total of 58 threatened monuments and industrial heritage sites from 32 countries across Europe that have been highlighted. These include the Grimsby Ice Factory in the UK, nominated in 2018.

The ‘7 Most Endangered Programme’ is run by Europa Nostra – the European Voice of Civil Society Committed to Cultural and Natural Heritage – in partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute. It also has the support of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union as part of Europa Nostra’s network project “European Cultural Heritage Agora”.

The deadline for nominations is 15th September 2023. For further details see the website here:
