European Association of Archaeologists and the European Year of Cultural Heritage
2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH 2018). The overall objective of the Year is to encourage sharing and appreciation of Europe’s cultural heritage, to raise awareness of our common history and values, and to reinforce a sense of belonging in a common European space.
As member of the EYCH Stakeholders Committee, the European Association of Archaeologists is proud to have the capacity to award the EYCH label to events in European Cultural Heritage that meet the following criteria:

- The event involves partners from different EU Member States and is implemented by civil society organisations (please note that your event may be eligible to receive the EYCH label from a national coordinator if it is a projects at national, regional or local level, or the European Commission directly if it is EU funded)
