About Heritage Science
Heritage Science is an internationally established and expanding research area that combines humanities, natural sciences and technology.
In 2018, the national network ”Heritage Science Sweden” was established. The goals of the network are to bring together different actors for a closer and stronger collaboration on cultural heritage issues. The National Heritage Board acts as the convening party for the network.
