The RIHP – Industry, History and Heritage network was formed in November 2012. RIHP brings together research units, organizations and researchers interested in the areas generally summarized as Industry, History, Heritage. 

RIHP aims at being an interdisciplinary space, open and plural, of reflection and debate, committed to the promotion and development of activities from institutions, organizations and individuals, both from Portugal and abroad, interested in the studying of industry as a global social reality crucial to the understanding of the contemporary World’s history, in particular in its general relation with economic and social development, involving material and immaterial cultural heritage (technology and technical know-how, social and cultural practices, infrastructures, constructions, equipments and objects, sites and landscapes) associated with it.
