 I was last good to show the role of EAA more in respect to European politics and I'm just concentrating on that very much and Roy and I, we developed this talk together and I have also more support from the board, the treasurer and former presidents are there who have been to meetings of the European Heritage Alliance which will be very much the topic of this talk. So we are here in Barcelona with a new record of 3000 delegates at the annual meeting that also gives us a new role and new responsibility to speak for the archaeologists of Europe. We will be 25 years old in Bern. We have achieved an R, the major platform for the archaeologists in Europe but we also have this role already, since a long time as a political protagonist, we have participatory stages with the Council of Europe as an international non-governmental organization. So that gives us the right to participate in the meetings in Strasbourg and have an important role there and this role was also taken especially as by former presidents they were instrumental also in shaping Council of Europe conventions but we must recognize at the moment that the Council of Europe actually in its importance is declining and so we are the European Union now through the funding initiatives and also with the initiatives of the European Year of Cultural Heritage comes more into focus. So EAA applied before this Year of Cultural Heritage to represent European archaeology in the European Heritage Alliance 3.3. What is this European Heritage Alliance? It's an informal European platform and there are more than 40 and actually 48 European or international networks and organizations active in there. The head of this platform is Europa Nostra, actually just one of the organizations but they were very clever in getting money from the EU and kind of being the network organizer of this whole thing. They are financed by Creative Europe, a program that is running out, maybe you probably mentioned something on that later on. The European Heritage Alliance was launched in 2011 in Amsterdam and EAA only joined now later in 2017. The name refers to the article 3.3 which was, Leonard was already showing showing to us, which is kind of says the union shall respect its rich cultural and linguistic diversity and shall ensure that Europe's cultural heritage is safeguarded and enhanced. And that's the tiny bit where the European Union can really act on cultural heritage in the member states. These are the members, the 48 members of the Heritage Alliance and I pointed out the Europa Nostra as which calls itself the voice of cultural heritage in Europe and it really is. It is, I'd say, compared with EAA, a much more professional organization, they are much better funded and I'll come to that in a second point. All the ones that are here in bold are members of the stakeholder group and this stakeholder group was the group of organizations that had the right to label events in the European year of cultural heritage. So, for example, EAA was responsible for international events in archaeology to label them or to decide whether or not to label them for the year. Yeah, it's actually the Heritage Alliance that has been advocating for this European Europe cultural heritage and was very much in contact with the EU institutions. I've mentioned the 18 Alliance members and the most important event of this year happened in Berlin in June and Sneska Mihailovic compared this European cultural heritage somehow with Davos, with the word economic forum. That's something she wants to put in our head that we should have meetings like that more often, maybe not every year, but every five years maybe. And from this meeting, they had a Berlin call to action which is a very broad statement on how cultural heritage should be treated and should be acted on and this can still be signed on the website of the European mass master. And one of the points is now really what is the heritage of the European year of cultural heritage? How do we carry that on? How do we get that into practical politics and something rewarding for archaeology and cultural heritage? We must have a quick look at Europa Nostra. It was already founded in 1963, so it's double the age than EAA, so it's much longer in the field. I was citing their motto, the voice of cultural heritage in Europe, and the voice is obviously Maestro Placido Domingo as an artist. He's always singing, so it's really in double ways the voice of cultural heritage. And just recently, their executive president is now an important German archaeologist, so there is an archaeologist very high up in this organization. Felipe Criado Vado, our president, is one of the 60 members in the council of Europa Nostra and these ones, they elect the board of Europa Nostra. A very important person that doesn't pop up on the website very much, but if you are on Twitter or something, you see that much of the publicity and of the voice and I'd say the image of Europa Nostra is actually Snaestro Quadric Mihailovich. She was with us last year in Maastricht and she also gave one of the keynotes. And what is also apart from the money, the location where Europa Nostra has its secretary in the hape and also of this in Brussels, of course, is a very good location to do politics directly. But I want to pause it here, I'll watch it on the next page. Yeah, here it is. Europa Nostra and the Heritage Alliance very much stand for an elitist concept of cultural heritage, which kind of sometimes or very often contrasts with what archaeologists understand as culture and cultural heritage. So there is some friction we should be aware of and coactively work with this. Now this is the possibility EAA has in the European framework to act together with other actors in the field of cultural heritage, not just in archaeology but in a larger field. But how can we, how must we ourselves change to become more active in this? I try to put this a bit, and what I think is the message of our strategic framework and of the things that are going on in the ways how we change the board, how we change the communication with members is that we want a much more active role of the members but also of every board member which goes from governance to empowerment or from representation. Am I representative of Germany and of women in the board or do I have a special task and function? Rather, for example, in my task looking after the communities, this is a completely different way how you look at yourself in an organization and how you act in an organization. And this also, of course, then somehow gets us away from the academic platform to have, say, we must act, we must have social relevance and we must implement what we are discussing. And try, okay. So to wrap this things up, our active role within the Heritage Alliance 3.3 is combined with high representation costs which we tried hard to meet and so they have very meetings very often and so we try to send somebody every time but that is really without professional staff doing that. It is quite difficult. We must do that together with our partners because we are in that Heritage Alliance but we also want to speak for them and with them. We recently achieved to come into the transparency register of the European Commission through this activity in the Heritage Alliance. So we are listed now as one of the lobby organizations, or professional lobby organizations but there is another transparency register. We must discuss at another point probably the benchmarks which would be one of these actions where we want to implement the experts' discussions into practical politics and influence the European Parliament elections in May. And as been mentioning, we must boost our members' expertise from the communities. They feed into these actions and there are ideas about how we can form an EAA council also to get more from the members. And I was mentioning this example already. Thank you very much.
