The European Heritage Academy – celebrates 5 years!

In autumn 2017, the first Erasmus+ project of the BHOe was completed and a solution for the implementation of the developed courses was sought. The answer was the foundation of The European Heritage Academy/EHA in December 2017. And that happened a whole five years, numerous course events and new projects ago! Therefore, on 22 March 2023, Charterhouse Mauerbach will host an anniversary celebration to mark the fifth anniversary of EHA. The newly developed courses of "Energy Expert" and "Digital Expert" from the projects PRO-Heritage and INCREAS, which will go into regular operation during 2023, will also be celebrated. This will be followed in 2024 by the training of “Virtual Building Damage Inspector" from VI-TRAIN. You can find the precise dates here.

Thus, from autumn 2022, The European Heritage Academy is offering certified further training in the field of historic buildings in the areas of maintenance, digitisation and energy efficiency - for interested parties/specialists from all over Europe. In the future, EHA will be an essential component of the planned EU Competence Centres, the prototype of which is emerging in Mauerbach as part of the FLIP2 Pilot project INCREAS.

EHA, as the Academy is called for short, is operated by Burghauptmannschaft Österreich (BHÖ) and Federal Monuments Authority Austria (BDA).

UBW Unternehmensberatung Wagenhofer GmbH provides qualified trainers.

EHA courses together with e-learning form the basis for certification through ECQA - European Certification and Qualification Association (https://jobcertification.eu/), an international association based in Austria.
