The Institut national du patrimoine is committed to working in partnership with heritage professionals to strengthen its local roots and develop its international reputation. Because of the diversity of its activities, the institute has forged a large number of partnerships with a wide range of organisations: heritage institutions, universities and research centres in France and abroad. Some of these partnerships involve a collaborative approach across the board, while others focus on more specific projects.
