In August 2000, the University of Maryland entered into a partnership with Belgian organizations and government agencies to foster programs to enhance public appreciation of cultural heritage.

This partnership and cultural exchange program includes:

	Department of Anthropology, University of Maryland
	Center for Heritage Resource Studies, University of Maryland
	Ename Center for Public Archaeology and Heritage Presentation, East Flanders, Belgium
	Government of the Province of East Flanders, Belgium
	Institute for the Archaeological Heritage of the Flemish Community (IAP), Belgium

Together, the University of Maryland and our Belgian partners are developing several cooperative programs under this agreement. The centerpiece of the partnership is the University of Maryland's annual Summer Study Tour in Belgium. This summer, the Center and Ename will offer the third annual study tour. We also are exploring cultural exchange linkages between our various international efforts.
