Stratégie d'établissement

The challenges related to analytical heritage sciences are key areas of French research. Chemistry and archaeometry are among the disciplines at the heart of these issues. The creation, in 2024, of a Research and Animation Federation (FRA) around Analytical Sciences for Heritage or the CAI-RN network, supported by MITI around heritage-related interests, highlights this focus.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The evolution of heritage materials is part of studying the processes of alteration, aging, and conservation of heritage and archaeological materials (stones, metals, paintings, textiles, paper, etc.), with an innovative approach integrating advanced analytical tools, digital modeling, and sustainable restoration and conservation solutions. The selected laboratories are among the best in France, with the experience and capacity to develop this theme and promote multidisciplinary collaborations with national and international heritage institutions.

Stratégie Internationale

Analytical heritage sciences are an internationally significant research theme, essential for addressing conservation and restoration issues. Research in this field is highly competitive. The successful candidate will need to establish a strong network of collaborations with leading institutes and universities specializing in this field. Active participation in national and international heritage science networks (ERIHS) will be particularly valued, as will the development of partnerships with major national and international agencies involved in this domain.

Résumé du projet scientifique

By understanding how heritage materials have changed since their creation, it is possible to reconstruct ancient techniques, trace alterations caused by time or human intervention, and highlight heritage objects in a new light.
Through the combination of innovative analytical methods, miniaturization, and predictive models, analytical chemistry for heritage materials, and more generally, heritage and archaeology sciences, contribute not only to preserving works but also to deepening our understanding of their history and future. This science plays a key role in passing down heritage to future generations, while providing tools to anticipate long-term conservation challenges. Additionally, part of the project could be dedicated to processing massive data resulting from object analysis, linked with major research infrastructures.

The study of heritage materials' evolution goes beyond conservation; it also sheds light on their history and the processes of heritage-making. By understanding how materials have changed since their creation and how they have been transformed, it is possible to reconstruct ancient techniques, trace alterations caused by time or human interventions, and highlight heritage objects in a new way.
By combining cutting-edge analytical techniques, miniaturization, and predictive models, analytical chemistry in the context of heritage materials—along with heritage and archaeological sciences more broadly—significantly advances both the preservation of cultural artefacts and the exploration of their historical trajectories. Additionally, part of the project could focus on processing big data from object analysis, linked with major research infrastructures.

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

The research theme of this CNRS chair can be adapted to various universities in the area depending on the recruitment site. The successful candidate will actively contribute to undergraduate and master's level teaching in analytical chemistry and heritage sciences.

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project’s socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
