Background information
Cultural Heritage and Development
Cultural heritage is of paramount importance for developing country societies and economies. ICTP, under the aegis of UNESCO and IAEA, promotes the use of advanced methodologies based on tools developed for fundamental physics research in cultural heritage applications. Specific areas are given urgent attention, such protecting and/or restoring cultural heritage sites from natural and man-made disasters (climate change, earthquakes, air pollution, etc) and illegal trade in counterfeit art.
Scope of the RICH
The interdisciplinary workshop and the foresight study, organized by European scientific institutions with affiliations to advanced lasers, neutrons and synchrotron radiation research centres, are aimed at bridging the current knowledge gap between Research Infrastructures (RI) and the Cultural Heritage (CH) community, by bringing together RI scientist, current and future RI users in the field of CH, and a panel of leading CH experts.
In preparation of the RICH workshop of December 2005, a preliminary study meeting was held on October 5, 2005 in Palazzo Sturzo, Rome.

A plenary session with Cultural Heritage experts will address future perspectives of large scale facilties in Cultural Heritage.
The Foresight Study
This study will identify how present and future needs in the field of conservation and investigations of objects of historic and cultural significance can be best met by Research Infrastructure research and instrumentation. The findings will help research Infrastructures to further adapt neutron, synchrotron and laser radiation facilities to the requirements of a wider community in cultural heritage research.
