*European Interpretation Association: Based in Potsdam, Germany, the association was officially established in 2010 and has approximately 1,000 members from 55 countries across Europe and beyond. It develops diverse methodologies and provides education and training programs for field interpreters focusing on the interpretation of cultural and natural heritage.

This MoU was established to foster cooperation in research and capacity-building projects that go beyond World Heritage and address broader aspects of heritage interpretation and presentation.

Over the next five years, the two organizations plan to collaborate on initiatives such as conducting research on the interpretation and presentation of cultural and natural heritage, enhancing capacity for interpreting world heritage, empowering, and strengthening collaborations with on-site heritage interpreters and local communities.
These efforts aim to reinforce the connection and communication between policy and practice in the field of heritage interpretation and presentation.
