the need for improved management of environments for  display and storage and long term survival of heritage assets; and  recommendations for additional development of assessment and monitoring  tools and improvements in access to information and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The  report will be available on the NHSS website for the duration of the  strategy development. \u00a0The project is keen to receive views on the  report and if you want to comment please do so by the end of May 2009.  \u00a0There is a response form available online which you can use to feed  back your comments on the report. \u00a0The comments provided will be  summarised in a report made available on the NHSS website, and although  the report will not be updated as a result of the comments, the summary  of responses will be used as part of the evidence base when the strategy  is produced.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the strategy development, there will be  a stakeholder meeting held towards the end of November and there is a  section on the response forms for potential participants to register  their interest in attending this meeting. \u00a0If you would like any further  information about the strategy, the first report, or the stakeholder  meeting.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/news\/docs\/nhss_report_1_web[5]080509.pdf\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/news\/docs\/nhss_report_1_web%5B5%5D080509.pdf\">Click  here to download NHSS Report pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.heritagesciencestrategy.org.uk\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.heritagesciencestrategy.org.uk\/\">http:\/\/www.heritagesciencestrategy.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2006 the UK House of Lords Science and Technology select committee published an inquiry report on science and heritage. \u00a0One of the recommendations of that report is the development of a national strategy for heritage science. \u00a0Since October this &hellip;
