E-RIHS.gr is the Greek cross-disciplinary Research Infrastructure (RI) in the service of Heritage Science (HS).

E-RIHS.gr exploits the expertise sourcing from the long-term involvement of our partners in the field of research for HS, the know-how derived from the participation in numerous EU and National projects related to HS, as well as the leading infrastructures and state-of-the-art instruments available in our laboratories, to deliver Innovative, Reliable and Efficient tools for addressing demanding challenges in Cultural Heritage research.

Our concept is described in three words/terms:

Micro:  methods and tools appropriate for analytical studies of CH objects and materials, namely at the microscopic level. These involve novel laser/spectroscopic techniques for compositional analysis and mapping of materials on works of art, advanced methods for studying archaeological DNA and modern laser-based technologies for conservation and restoration.

Macro: Non-invasive geophysical and geochemical measurements for surveying and mapping macroscopically the landscape of archaeological and historical sites including underwater ones.

Info: Development and use of innovative management systems that enable efficient documentation and handling of new data and information enhancing our understanding of CH sites, monuments, and objects.
