4.7a Building on heritage science approaches, how can advanced material analysis and risk modelling be translated into standardised tools to articulate the economic and cultural value of preventative conservation and maintenance works?
Background
DCMS and our ALBs are responsible for safeguarding the UK’s cultural capital, both the physical infrastructure and the intellectual rights of creators. Further research is required to understand how to determine the cost of inaction, by bridging the gap between technical heritage science (i.e. degradation), and economic valuation. Furthermore, we welcome further evidence on how IP and copyright frameworks need to be adapted to continue to protect arts and innovation, while protecting the rights and revenue stream of the workforce and IP owners.
