This overview discusses the critical role of research infrastructures (RIs) in the study and preservation of cultural heritage. Led by Jana Kolar and Matija Strlič, the paper highlights the need for high-quality, rare analytical techniques, such as synchrotron and ion beam methods, to preserve and analyze artifacts. It emphasizes the importance of collaborative transnational access, training, and networking to enhance the service provided by these RIs. Notable findings include the degradation of wood by sulfide and the material composition analysis of artifacts like the Shroud of Turin and Roman bronze statues.
