A group of experienced experts and advisers, active in various sectors of the museum and heritage world, gravitates around EMA, and is always within our reach. They have proven experience in the field, European funding programmes, and national and local development projects. This growing network is reinforced by a solid group of national representatives and a circle of honorary commissioners, and supported by our own team of special projects and communication officers.
