A cornerstone of developing interdisciplinary collaboration in heritage science is the definition of shared fields of enquiry, in which science- and arts/humanities-based researchers can collaborate on an equal footing. Defining points of overlap between the material, environmental and human dimensions of the heritage is therefore a crucial first step in developing research that crosses disciplinary boundaries. This Research Cluster focuses on the multi-disciplinary study of modern heritage, and employs the idea of 'heritage ecologies' to facilitate new collaborations in their interpretation and representation. Responding to the outcomes of two recent research projects funded by EPSRC and English Heritage, Ecologies of Modern Heritage brings together leading researchers - from engineering, ecology, microbiology and conservation to planning, anthropology, archaeology and the creative arts - and engages with a range of stakeholders from outside higher education, including the professional heritage sector.The Cluster will operate over 5 months, convening two intensive site-specific workshops that use the site of Bletchley Park, Bucks as a case study. The Cluster will be carried out in partnership with English Heritage and the Bletchley Park Trust, who will both be represented on the Cluster Steering Committee. Bletchley Park is an iconic and internationally-recognised historic site, associated especially with the history of technology and 20th-century military history. Reconciling intangible heritage, the international historical significance and contemporary cultural and economic values of the site, with the demands of conservation and management of the material fabric of collections, buildings and landscapes is a current and pressing challenge for the Bletchley Park Trust, and one that is shared by many other heritage stakeholders. The Cluster will test and develop the idea of 'heritage ecologies' as a rubric for the development of heritage science research that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and that achieves social and economic impact. It will facilitate new collaborations between 4-5 Research Teams (developed from within a Core Group of participants) that will lead to further grant applications, whether through the Heritage Science programme or through responsive-mode calls, from Cluster participants. Broader participation in the Cluster will be also be encouraged, promoted especially through the project website. The Cluster's workshop activities will be documented in briefing notes, which will be made available through the project website. The outcomes of the workshops will be disseminated through a public workshop hosted by Open University (some 10 minutes from Bletchley Park), to which a wide range of heritage stakeholders will be invited, through the Heritage Science conference in July 2009, and through liaison with other Clusters in the 'Interpretation and Representation' cell. The Cluster will not only develop new understanding of the challenges and potentials of heritage science in relation to modern heritage, but will also aim to leave behind a tangible contribution to the interpretation and representation of Bletchley Park.

在遗产科学中发展跨学科合作的基石是确定共同的研究领域，科学和艺术/人文研究人员可以在平等的基础上进行合作。因此，确定遗产的物质、环境和人文层面之间的重叠点是开展跨学科研究的关键第一步。该研究群专注于现代遗产的多学科研究，并采用“遗产生态学”的思想，以促进其解释和表现的新合作。为了响应EPSRC和英国遗产基金会最近资助的两个研究项目的成果，现代遗产生态学汇集了领先的研究人员-从工程学，生态学，微生物学和保护到规划，人类学，考古学和创意艺术-并与高等教育以外的一系列利益相关者合作，包括专业遗产部门。集群将运行5个月，召开两次针对具体地点的密集研讨会，以巴克斯的布莱切利公园为案例研究。该集群将与英国遗产和布莱切利公园信托基金合作开展，这两个机构都将派代表参加集群指导委员会。布莱切利公园（Bletchley Park）是一个标志性的、国际公认的历史遗址，尤其与技术史和20世纪军事史有关。保护非物质遗产，该遗址的国际历史意义和当代文化和经济价值，以及对收藏品，建筑物和景观的物质结构的保护和管理的要求，是布莱切利公园信托基金目前面临的紧迫挑战，也是许多其他遗产利益相关者共同面临的挑战。该小组将测试和发展“遗产生态学”的概念，作为发展跨学科遗产科学研究的一个标准，并产生社会和经济影响。它将促进4-5个研究小组之间的新合作（从参与者核心小组内部发展而来），这将导致更多的赠款申请，无论是通过遗产科学计划还是通过响应式呼叫，来自集群参与者。还将特别通过项目网站鼓励和促进更广泛地参与该小组。小组的研讨会活动将记录在简报中，简报将通过项目网站提供。讲习班的成果将通过公开大学主办的公开讲习班（距离布莱切利公园约10分钟路程），通过2009年7月的遗产科学会议，以及通过与“解释和代表”小组的其他集群的联络，广泛邀请遗产利益攸关方参加。该小组不仅将对遗产科学与现代遗产相关的挑战和潜力有新的认识，而且还将致力于为解释和展示布莱切利公园做出切实贡献。
