National Consultation Panel Heritage Research

This consultation panel meets twice per year and consists of researchers from several fields of heritage research. Amongst others, fields like archaeology, landscape and spatial planning, monuments, museum collections, and intangible heritage (‘living heritage’, such as social habits, rituals, traditions, expressions, specialist knowledge or skills) are represented. Together, the members of the NAE represent the broad field of heritage research.
