Research in the field of heritage conservation is part of the activities at RLICC and is feeding the content of the courses at the Master in Conservation of Monuments and Sites. In the recent past, we have been involved in different research applications. The Centre was involved as a major research partner in a project application led by Europa Nostra entitled “Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe: Towards an European Index for Valuing Cultural Heritage” that has been accepted for funding by the Culture Programme (2007-2013). We look forward to the collaboration with this interesting consortium and we will keep you posted on the progress of this project.
