Our advocacy work for museums
NEMO liaises with European policy makers and EU Institutions in all areas relevant to museums. We produce recommendations and co-operate with partners in the European cultural field to make our demands heard. We also help our members to build successful advocacy campaigns and support museums to make an impact on various sectors.
Our current focus topics
Museum support for Ukraine
NEMO is collecting and monitoring support actions organised by European museums for Ukraine. Please share the page with affected people, especially Ukrainian museums and museum professionals. Get in touch with more offers - we will continue to collect support initiatives as we #StandWithUkraine️!

Sustainability
It is time to put museums’ potential into action. NEMO encourages museums to support a sustainable and better future and to contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the Agenda 2030. We want to inspire museums to be #MuseumsforFuture.
