Focusing on 'what's next for heritage science', the conference will include presentations and panel discussions, exhibitors, workshops and opportunities to network. Join us to discuss how heritage science is addressing global challenges and explore new and innovative research questions.
The conference will explore three main themes:
- The economic value of heritage science – How economists, policy-makers and heritage scientists are working together in emerging paradigms to assess the value of heritage.
- Towards sustainable historic buildings – How heritage science can help, in times of climate emergency, balance the needs of conservation and energy efficiency.
- Digital innovation in heritage science – How future heritage science will integrate digital twins, virtual reality and AI.
The conference will also include a welcoming and wide-ranging poster session, open to submissions from novel and interesting heritage science research at all stages of development. The poster session will showcase cutting-edge work and emerging trends that will shape the future of heritage science. Three interactive workshops will run as parallel sessions in the afternoon.
Registration closed on Fri 20 June.
