The Foundation for Cultural Heritage Science gathers academic researchers and heritage professionals around research projects on tangible heritage. This round table illustrates the interest and necessity to federate human and technical resources in this area of research, at different scales. The following topics will be dealt with: interdisciplinarity; dialogue between universities, heritage institutions and research laboratories specializing on the study and conservation of cultural property; instrumentation development; data processing and sharing. The participants will also talk about the strategic importance of international collaborations, such as the European Research Infrastructure Heritage Science (ERIHS) and the project ECHOES (European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science).
