Networking & Cooperation

Networks build trust, nurture relationships, set aligned agendas and help to exchange knowledge and experiences to help their members to learn and build their capacity. NEMO offers a platform for museums and museum organisations to develop shared projects across borders.

The power of networks

  • Networks provide information, experience and trusted partners to help members work together at an international level.
  • They are coordinating entities that develop intercultural skills that act as catalyst for knowledge specialisation and provide unique levels of expertise.
  • They raise awareness of new challenges and work together proactively to shape the responses to them.
  • Networks provide a model for sustainable co-operation because they are based on shared purposes that build long-term communities based on shared goals.  

Our current projects

NEMO is participating in various EU-funded projects and other kinds of cross border collaborations to actively strengthen and professionalise the European museum sector.
