The Science and Heritage Programme has been established in order to take forward recommendations made by the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee report on Science and Heritage. The Programme will draw on a range of disciplinary expertise and resources in order to transform the ways in which changes to our cultural heritage and its conservation are understood.  One of the aims of the programme will be to develop the research community by building capacity and supporting new researchers.
