Introduction
An opportunity to discover how the broad range of science expertise and facilities contained within the Science & Technology Facilities Council have been applied to the study and understanding of art and artefacts. With presentations on the use and potential of synchrotron and neutron sources, high power lasers, nano and surface science instruments, computational science, data archival and instrumentation technology, the day will include ample opportunity to talk to experts in these fields and heritage science researchers already utilising these world class, cutting edge tools.
Objectives
- To enable participants to understand how central science infrastructure is organised in the UK
- To examine the role of the STFC within the UK’s science infrastructure
