Core offering

Netzwerk Kulturerbe Schweiz is a national non-profit association uniting 45 professional cultural heritage associations and organizations in Switzerland. It coordinates the annual European Heritage Days (Europäische Tage des Denkmals) with over 400 events, publishes the quarterly Bulletin Kulturerbe Schweiz and a research publication series, and advocates for cultural heritage policy at the national level. The network offers continuing education programs (Tagungen) and a monthly newsletter covering cultural heritage news and policy developments.

Product overview

Netzwerk Kulturerbe Schweiz (formerly NIKE) operates as a national cultural heritage advocacy network rather than a software product company. The organization offers a portfolio of publications including the quarterly Bulletin Kulturerbe Schweiz journal, the Schriftenreihe zur Kulturgüter-Erhaltung research series, coordinates the annual Europäische Tage des Denkmals (European Heritage Days) event program, and provides a monthly newsletter. The portfolio is centered on professional knowledge-sharing and public engagement around Swiss cultural heritage rather than technology products.
