The Icon Book & Paper Group Committee  are pleased to be able to bring you a series of live streamed talks while many people are required to stay at home during in these unprecedented times.

The next talk will be an NHSF Panel giving their talk Building a Skilled an Diverse Heritage Science Community.

Overview
One of three key themes in the Strategic Framework for Heritage Science in the UK is the development of a skilled and diverse heritage science community. Over the past year, members of the NHSF working group assembled under this theme have been scoping partners, methods, and opportunities to begin addressing this critical priority. At this joint NHSF/ICON HS meeting, we invite two speakers to discuss opening up heritage science to the public through citizen science and strategies to diversify our community. We also invite attendees to contribute ideas and comments on this theme at our timely discussion

About the speaker
The National Heritage Science Forum (NHSF) brings together the producers and users of heritage science to improve collaboration, help practitioners make better use of research, and demonstrate the public benefit of heritage science. The Strategic Framework for Heritage Science in the UK was developed by the Forum in consultation with the heritage science community. It was released in 2018 and covers three themes: establishing excellent research, a skilled and diverse heritage science community, and demonstrable social and economic impact. Through these three themes the vision ‘that the UK’s extraordinarily rich and varied tangible and intangible heritage will be enhanced by better use of science and technology for the benefit of society’ will be delivered.
