This project, based at the University of Barcelona’s Solidarity Foundation, brings together a transnational network of research institutions and other organisations, to analyse and understand the different historical and memorial processes of our recent past in Europe. The European Observatory on Memories (EUROM) works to promote interdisciplinary research and academic activities related to the construction of public memory in Europe, to contribute to the analysis and management of the politics of memory, and to influence in the right of citizens to use and interpret the memorial heritage. It is a research project but it also deals with the management and dissemination of memorial policies related to conflicts of the twentieth century and other historic periods that have a public influence in the twenty-first century. The EUROM network is supported for five years by EACEA (the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Commission) through the Europe for Citizens Program.

CRMNH will work in partnership with some prestigious institutions and research groups from Europe and North America that have already joined the European Observatory on Memories, including: the International Committee of Memorial Museums for Remembrance (IC MEMO); the Museum of Free Derry; the Maison d’Izieu Association; the Finnish-Russian Citizens’ Forum; the National Institute for the History of the Liberation Movement in Italy; the Topography of Terror Documentation Center; the Mauthausen Memorial; the Museum of Occupations; the Wewelsburg 1933-1945 Memorial Museum, and the Centre for Memory and Testimony Studies of Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada), among others.
