NEMO - Network of European Museum Organisations

Europejska sieć zrzeszająca instytucje muzealne z całej Europy. Sieć działa m.in. na rzecz zwiększania świadomości wkładu muzeów w kulturę i edukację, promocji i zwiększania widoczności pracy muzeów, a także budowania potencjału, profesjonalizacji i sieciowania instytucji muzealnych.

Do sieci NEMO należą m.in. Narodowy Instytut Muzealnictwa i Ochrony Zbiorów, Stowarzyszenie Muzealników Polskich oraz Muzeum Azji i Pacyfiku.

The Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO) is a network of national museum organisations and similar bodies representing the museum community of the member states of the Council of Europe. Together, NEMO’s members speak for over 30,000 museums across Europe.

The network ensures that museums are an integral part of European life by promoting their work and value to policy makers, by providing museums with information and through networking opportunities for co-operation.

NEMO puts forward the cause of museums by advocating at the EU level. The network shares information about current and prospective EU policies, initiatives and funding opportunities to support museums internationally. Through a number of trainings, NEMO also aims at professionalising and strengthening the capacity of the museum sector in Europe.

The network focuses on four key strategic areas and two transversal themes that it considers important for the museum sector; collection value, social value, educational value and economic value as well as digitalised museums and professional development.

2017-2020 CREATIVE EUROPE PROJECTS

In 2018, NEMO launched the museum advocacy scheme Political Internships in Museums. So far EESC President Luca Jahier and MEP and member of the CULT committee Julie Ward have participated in the programme.

NEMO’s European Museum Conference 2019 will focus on museums’ ability to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and be part of creating a better future. “Museums 2030 – Sharing recipes for a better future” takes place from 7-10 November 2019 in Tartu, Estonia.

Throughout the period, NEMO will offer a number of trainings to its members and non-members. The network also organises free webinars on topics relevant for museum professionals. NEMO also contributes to the European museum sector by regularly publishing publications. In the recently published “Museums out of the Box – The crossover impact of museums”, the reader gets to learn about museums’ many positive effects on other sectors. The most recent research of the NEMO Working Group LEM – The Learning Museum can be found in the report “Engaging Visitors in Natural History Museums”.
