Contact
Cross Czech was founded in 1992 in Prague. The company has been intensively co-operating with Czech educational and cultural institutions helping them to promote and present their activities on European level, to take part in EU funded projects and to handle the managerial and technical side of the work in the area of culture, education and social policies.
Cross Czech participates actively in the implementation of European policies supporting culture. Our experts cooperate with the Unit of Technology Enhanced Learning and Cultural Heritage of European Commission in the area of evaluating of project proposals. We also cooperate with this unit on preparatory works of forthcoming work plans. Thanks to this experience, we can participate on transmitting long-term strategies of cultural heritage protection into reality.
