HILO launches new heritage partnership with Historic Buildings and Places
Heritage Innovation Lab Oxford (HILO), led by and including SoGE researchers, is undertaking a new partnership with Historic Buildings & Places (HB&P), one of the UK’s leading heritage charities.
Future Lab is a three-year initiative which will develop bespoke and collaborative programmes, linking insights from the best academic research to the largest challenges facing the heritage industry. These programmes are designed to facilitate the wider uptake of research evidence by the heritage sector - ultimately leading to dynamic and innovative solutions for heritage management and conservation.
HILO is an interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Oxford, funded primarily through the University’s Strategic Innovation Fund with additional support from the Blenheim Estate. Its mission is to explore and trial new ways of working, enabling University researchers to co-develop innovative, evidence-based solutions with partners across the heritage sector.
Founded in 1924 as the Ancient Monuments Society, HB&P works to sustain, defend and promote all aspects of the built historic environment for the benefit of all. As a statutory consultee under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the charity provides expert advice to local authorities in England and Wales on Listed Building Consent applications and other heritage matters. Its work spans the full spectrum of heritage, from celebrated landmarks to the everyday buildings that shape local communities.
