NEMO’s mission is to make sure that museums are an integral part of European society by promoting their work and value to policy makers. We do this by liaising with and informing EU institutions and other stakeholders in Europe about the crucial role of museums.
What’s new in EU policy?
From 1 January-30 June 2021, Portugal will preside the Council of the European Union for the fourth time.
On 14 December 2020, the European Parliament and EU Member States came to a final political agreement on the Creative Europe budget for 2021-2027. The funding strand for culture will have a total budget of €2.4 billion Euro.
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
Museums during COVID-19

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.
