Towards the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science E-RIHS

2. Heritage Science
HS is founded on the interdisciplinary combination of knowledge from arts and humanities (conservation, archaeology, history, art history, ethics etc.), and from science and technology (chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, computer sciences and engineering, etc.).
HS encompasses the sciences for the conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage.

3. IPERION CH Integrated Platform for the European Research Infrastructure ON Cultural Heritage

4. IPERION CH mission
establish a permanent European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science
provide access to cutting-edge scientific tools for advanced diagnostics, conservation and restoration
