About

E-RIHS.it is the distributed research infrastructure for Heritage Science in Italy and represents the national initiative of the European infrastructure E-RIHS.
Recognised as a potential Research Infrastructure of pan-European interest, E-RIHS.it was formally established in 2018 as a Joint Research Unit. Since 2016, it has received political support and financial commitments from the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR).

E-RIHS.it strengthens Italy’s position in Europe in the field of Heritage Science and enhances its capabilities in the technological and scientific sectors related to Cultural Heritage by integrating state-of-the-art facilities and providing access to a wide range of high-level scientific instruments, as well as methodologies and data, to promote knowledge and innovation in the conservation of Cultural Heritage.

E-RIHS.it links researchers from different organizations and supports their mobility, fostering the dissemination and valorisation of national research and technological development. Work is currently underway on the planning and implementation of national and European research projects.

The main activities carried out within the node are:

• access to the infrastructure’s laboratories
• networking activity
• training and education
