The SEAHA conference series aims to engage with high-quality interdisciplinary scientific research of cultural heritage. Based on the success of the past three events, the series established a platform for open dialogue between academics, professionals, practitioners, entrepreneurs and policy-makers from around the globe.

The 4^th SEAHA conference will continue to examine the opportunities and challenges confronting heritage science. In doing so, we would like to showcase collaboration with industry in particular and deepen the interdisciplinarity by engaging with high-profile academics and professionals from a broad range of expertise.
