E-RIHS it aims to integrate state-of-the-art facilities and provide access to a wide range of high-level scientific tools, as well as methodologies and data, to promote knowledge and innovation in cultural heritage conservation.

It also connects researchers from different organizations and contributes to their mobility, promoting the dissemination and enhancement of national research and technological development.
The main activities taking place within the node are:

• Access to infrastructure laboratories
• networking activities
• education and training
• Communication, dissemination and exploitation of research results
• promotion of innovation.

The node’s laboratories, which are accessed through an annual call for applications, constitute the MOLAB. The MOLAB (MObile LABoratory) is a distributed infrastructure consisting of laboratories that provide reliable access, under a unified management structure, to a range of mobile equipment and related
expertise, for nondestructive in situ measurements of artworks, collections, monuments and sites.
The Italian node of E-RIHS is coordinated by the Istituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Culturale (Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences link) of the CNR.
