The Industrial Revolution originated in Europe in the 18th and early 20th century, & spread later to the other continents. It was the start of a global economy, where techniques and technologies, materials, engines and tools, capital, new social and political ideas crossed borders without limit.


Associations from different European countries, united in E-FAITH (European Federation of Associations of Industrial and Technical Heritage) launched the idea to take initiatives and to launch actions in as many countries as possible in the course of one specific year, at the same time, to set this heritage in the spotlights.
Every year in September, the 50 signatory States to the European Cultural Convention take part in the European Heritage Days, a joint action of the Council of Europe and the European Commission, putting new cultural assets on view and opening up historical buildings normally closed to the public.

This year for the first time over 30 countries are participating in a programme of events celebrating Europe´s industrial and design heritage.
