ENHANCING UNIVERSITY HERITAGE-BASED RESEARCH PR...

The European Academic Heritage Network UNIVERSEUM discussed in its 15th annual meeting academic
heritage in its broadest sense  tangible and intangible  namely the preservation  study  access
and promotion of university collections  museums  archives  libraries  botanical gardens 
astronomical observatories  and university buildings of historical  artistic and scientific
significance. The theme of the conference was Enhancing University Heritage-Based Research.
Cultural heritage is widely studied  from collection studies to historical and social studies
of science  research in the natural sciences  didactic research  museum studies  and
conservation and restoration analysis. Research is one of universities' core missions. How can
university heritage based-research be regarded with respect to this mission? What kind of
research is being done and how is it presented to the general public? How can we make
university heritage more relevant in research development and outreach? How does research
contribute to transform the places where universities' everyday activities are taking place
into heritage? How can it turn artefacts  specimens  books  manuscripts and documents produced
or gathered by universities into heritage? To what extent can university heritage as a whole be
recognized as a multidisciplinary large-scale tool for research activities? Experiences 
case-studies and in-depth papers help us identify the nature and specificity of these issues
and concerns.
