The Royal Museum of the Armed Forces in Brussels was an impressive venue for the Liberation Routes Europe (LRE) Annual Conference and Expo 2020. Dirk Röder represented FORTE CULTURA®. In addition to many new network contacts, there was also in-depth coordination in preparation for the co- operation between the two European cultural routes, which is to be signed at the FORTE CULTURA® annual conference in Terezin in May. Another inter- esting side event was the concrete coordination of future cooperation with the fortress lobby network EFFORTS Europe, which is also headquartered in Brussels.
