Research strategies
The research group within the NHSF is keen to raise the profile of the research interests and strategies of its members, where they explicitly mention heritage science-related content.
Heritage Science is an umbrella term used to encompass the many different ways in which science and technology can be applied to cultural heritage to improve understanding of it, management of it, and engagement with it.
