NET Managing our Natural and Cultural Assets

Devised and Developed by Archnetwork

A new programme funded by Erasmus+

The NET project is a Key Action 1 project for Staff. It is funded by the Erasmus+ programme. NET offers training courses to those working within the natural and cultural heritage sectors. Staff are funded through this project to undertake a training event, job shadowing, observation and training in a relevant organisation abroad.   The costs of international travel, accommodation and subsistence are covered by the Erasmus+ grant.

Erasmus+ is a European Union programme, managed in the UK by the British Council and Ecorys UK. They co-ordinate the UK programme for the benefit of participating UK organisations, and the individuals who are able to study, train, volunteer or gain work experience abroad through the programme. In the UK the Department for Business Innovation and Skills oversees the Erasmus+ programme.
