ERIH MEMBERSHIP

The ERIH network was built up between 2003 and 2008 by eleven project partners with financial support from the European Union. In order to continue the network after the end of the project funding, the registered association ERIH-European Route of Industrial Heritage e.V. was established under German law in spring 2008. Since then, the number of members has grown from 17 founding members to over 300 from 27 European countries.
