RICHeS will create a network of UK heritage clusters of excellence across the UK.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory is to host a multi-million pound, national programme designed to boost heritage science across the UK, with the headquarters located at Sci-Tech Daresbury.
Announced last week, the Research and Innovation Cluster for Heritage Science (RICHeS), is an £80 million programme, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
It is the first strategic, long-term, government-funded programme designed to support heritage science research across the whole of the UK. From archaeology to art and literature through the generations, it will generate new knowledge while joining up currently dispersed data and resources for easier access.
