European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) was created in 2005 as a joint initiative by German, Hungarian, Polish, and Slovak ministers of culture.
The organization supports academic research, educational projects and promotional events, through a network of international scholars and ENRS partner institutions.
[3] ENRS implements its own projects, as well as supports, in terms of content and financing, actions of institutions, non-governmental organizations and research centers, which concentrate on memory studies.
Representatives of European historical institutions are invited to discuss the challenges facing Europe's idea of culture of remembrance and promotion of 20th-century history, with particular focus on Dictatorship.
Its aim is to facilitate academic exchange among Central and Eastern European scholars by organizing annual international conferences and workshops.
The board’s principal responsibilities are commenting on the overall directions of ENRS’s medium- and long-term development and representing the Network in its member countries and elsewhere.
