Networking
ECCOFORT supports the development of a transnational networking and the foundation of network organisation of the European fortified cultural heritage.
The fortress heritage needs intensive transnational cooperation, exchange of experiences and transfer of knowledge to find answers for the difficult questions regarding the monument protection, practice of historical technologies, compatible monuments and modern utilisation, effective management, organisation of income, international marketing and branding of tourist products. It should contribute to find new ways for the capitalisation of the heritage at different markets.
Overview of the network activities of ECCOFORT:
Network of Baltic Fortresses
Initiated by the heads of ECCOFORT, Mr Hartmut Röder and Mr Dr. Hans-Rudolf Neumann, as a result of the INTERREG-III-B-Project “Baltic Culture and Tourism Route Fortresses”, numerous fortresses in the Baltic Sea Region agreed to a cooperation within a network of Baltic Fortresses. The shared interest consists in the organisation of an international fortress tourism as parts of a cultural tourism, in the fields of marketing, using a common label and in questions of monument protection, compatible monument utilisation and fortress management.
Network of Scientific Consultation Centre for fortresses
One of the important activities has been the promotion of scientific European cooperation in order to evolve a solution for problems concerning the fortresses.
Special profiled scientific research and input are needed, notably to solve problems like the restoration of fortresses with historical handicraft technologies, like protection and management of the nature, like history and historical changes with influence to the fortress architecture.
During the INTERREG-Project “Baltic Fort Route”, three Scientific Consultation Centres were founded, which can be used by the administrators of the fortresses to solve special problems:
