The EU-funded European Heritage Hub invites heritage professionals and representatives of cities and regions to apply for its upcoming Peer-Learning Visit in Lisbon, Portugal from 4-6 November 2026. Organised in partnership with the City of Lisbon, this programme offers the opportunity for meaningful exchanges among cultural heritage sector peers in addition to participants aiming to learn more about ways to transform their own heritage initiatives and policies.
The European Heritage Hub will cover travel and accommodation costs for participants (2 nights from 4 to 6 November) as well as meals during the stay. The hotel booking will be taken care of by the organisers. The participants will book their individual travels to and from the destination – for which they will be reimbursed.
The travel reimbursement will be done with accordance to the European Commission Decision, e.g. if you travel from Madrid to Lisbon, the max amount for a return trip is €340. You can use this online tool to calculate the travel distance relevant for you (please use table 3).
Professionals working in cultural heritage for local, regional, or national administrations, civil society organisations, cultural initiatives, or projects across Europe are encouraged to apply. This includes participants from Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye and the UK.
The group of maximum 20 selected participants will be composed of representatives from European cities and regions, but is also open to a limited number of cultural heritage stakeholders.
