About Us
The European Cooperation Centre of Fortified Heritage -ECCOFORT- is an institution of research, protection, compatible utilisation of monument, effective management and marketing of historical cultural heritage fortresses. ECCOFORT is a non-profit Non Goverment Organisation (NGO).
ECCOFORT supports the European cooperation, initiates projects and opens the markets for the fortified cultural heritage, promotes the knowledge transfer and best practices. The aim is to help to generate knowledge for better income for the fortress administrations and the fortress cities, for better financing, capitalising and monument economy.
ECCOFORT promotes the acceptance of this heritage in- and outside of Europe, preserves and conveys its intercultural relationships and cooperations and provides a new point of view of this extraordinary heritage by comprehensive information and study tours.
With our network we take part in research and valorisation of historical fortresses, in preparation and organisation of international conferences and projects, in elaboration of scientific and practical-related expertises and in publication of work and research results for more then twenty years in the European Region.
Fortress cities, fortress managements and all interested institutions can use the consulting of ECCOFORT.
