Research capacities and resources are crucial to enhancing the understanding, care and sustainable use of heritage to enrich people’s lives, both today and in the future. The mission of the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science (E-RIHS) is to deliver integrated access to interdisciplinary expertise, data and cutting-edge technologies. The E-RIHS Implementation Phase (E-RIHS IP) partnership brings together representatives of the national nodes of the countries that expressed their willingness to support the establishment of the ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium). It aims at preparing E-RIHS ERIC to become operational in the field of heritage science at the European and global level.

The consortium involves 14 European partners and is lead by National Research Council (CNR, Italy).

The EU contribution to the project is 1.4 MEUR, from which ATOMKI received 34 kEUR.
