Science and Heritage Programme

The Science and Heritage Programme takes forward recommendations made by the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee report on science and heritage of November 2006, which concluded that there was a compelling need for a comprehensive national strategy for heritage science which covered both immoveable and moveable heritage. The joint five year research programme has a dual purpose: it will provide funding opportunities for high quality research to increase our understanding, and improve the resilience of cultural heritage in the face of 21st century environmental change; it will also develop the heritage science community by funding networks and other awareness-raising and capacity-building activities. http://www.heritagescience.ac.uk/
