Purpose of HERMeS
HERMeS aims to record, preserve, manage and disseminate tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage in all its forms and manifestations, with the help of technology and digital applications.
The city as a work of art
Historic Buildings and Monuments are part of this huge art collection. Therefore, HERMeS differentiates by approaching Cultural Heritage as tangible and intangible Cultural Relations that emerge in a city.
To whom is it addressed to?
HERMeS addresses all institutions (Municipalities, Regions, NGOs, Chambers) that are interested in saving their monuments, promoting the cultural value of their place, and aiming to motivate citizens in order to sustain participatory cultural development.
Who are the members?
HERMeS has been created by a team of creative people who want to help protect and promote cultural heritage, in a pan-European and global dimension. For this purpose, a Registry of Friends of HERMeS has been created, which consists of excellent professionals in the field of Culture, working in actions and projects of HERMeS.
