Research that protects.
Transformative approaches to cultural heritage, technology, and policy.
We conduct cutting-edge research on the history and cultural heritage of Europe, West Asia, and North Africa, with a focus on heritage protection, policy, and the integration and development of new technologies. We work with regional partners to develop tools, knowledge, and frameworks that safeguard heritage, combat illicit trafficking, and support sustainable and inclusive heritage management.
Linking academic research with digital technologies for real-world impact.
Our archival and field-based research across West Asia and North Africa is combined with the development and application of emerging digital methods for provenance analysis, data collection, and heritage documentation. This work translates scholarly inquiry into practical approaches that enhance the understanding of cultural heritage, strengthen cross-border connections, and support more effective responses on-the-ground.
Research, analysis, and commentary on cultural heritage and society.
Research outputs and blog posts offer critical engagement with cultural heritage, historical processes, and contemporary policy debates. Contributions range from peer-reviewed research to analytical essays and accessible commentary, translating complex scholarly work into insights for academic audiences as well as policy and public discussion.
