The ChemCH conferences have been organised biannually since 2010, initiated by the EuChemS Working Party on Chemistry for Cultural Heritage. With the overarching theme of Chemistry for Cultural Heritage, the conferences promote chemical sciences in the field of understanding, conservation and use of cultural heritage, which includes all typologies of heritage: objects, buildings, landscapes etc. The main objective is to understand the materiality of cultural heritage, its environment and use. Advances in research methodologies, instrumentation and contemporary computational approaches have significantly improved our ability to understand the properties and composition of heritage and archaeological materials, how they respond to their environment or treatments, and how they change with time. Equally important is the interpretation and visualisation of data using data-intensive approaches and AI. Chemistry for Cultural Heritage promotes highly interdisciplinary research informed and guided by the needs of the heritage sector.
