RICHeS is the UK’s Research Infrastructure for Conservation and Heritage Science
The RICHeS programme will unlock access to heritage science facilities by creating a distributed infrastructure of heritage science collections and equipment.
We will fund the development of a heritage science data service to enable researchers and other users to find and access facilities, reference collections and research data relating to heritage science research.
We will also create a dedicated RICHeS headquarters to encourage cooperation, networking and skills sharing.
Unlocking access to heritage science
RICHeS will fund 31 projects across the UK, including:
Our aims
