Welcome to InHeriT

InHeriT: Promoting Cultural Heritage as a Generator of Sustainable Development is a joint interdisciplinary international ERASMUS+ project aiming to increase public awareness on the economic value of built cultural heritage and its crucial role in generating regional and local development.

Its objectives will be attained by the following means:
