The science that underpins conservation & heritage in the UK is receiving a significant boost through the AHRC RICHeS programme. Find out more on how we're transforming the nation's capabilities by bringing science to the forefront of arts and humanities: orlo.uk/arL4y
ALT Screenshot of the RICHeS news item with a quote from AHRC Executive Chair, Professor Christopher Smith: Heading: Unleashing new understanding about our cultural heritage 'The UK has a rich and unparalleled cultural heritage and is a global leader in the science of heritage conservation. By investing in heritage science, we are not only unleashing new understanding about our cultural assets but boosting a world-leading heritage economy that will benefit us all. Using the latest technology and scientific equipment, this programme will support access to heritage collections, grow the UK’s heritage economy and drive technological innovation in areas such as material science. Placing this work in Daresbury increases the chance of the spillover effects we have already demonstrated.'
