SEAHA writes:

The SEAHA conference series aims to engage with high-quality interdisciplinary scientific research of cultural heritage. Based on the success of the past three events, the series established a platform for open dialogue between academics, professionals, practitioners, entrepreneurs and policy-makers from around the globe.

The 4th SEAHA conference will continue to examine the opportunities and challenges confronting heritage science. In doing so, we would like to showcase collaboration with industry at the next conference in particular. While the strength of the field of heritage science increases, broadening and deepening scientific research by optimising resources and technology improves public benefit and participation.

The Call for Abstracts is now open and the deadline is on 22nd January 2018. We would like to hear the best science presented in an accessible manner to a broad audience. Please, submit your application here
