The Heritage Science Laboratory and other labs at E-JUST are open to all students enrolled in various specializations, including Archaeological Excavation, Heritage Conservation Science, Museum Management, and Cultural Heritage Studies, within the postgraduate Heritage Science program.

The Heritage Science Laboratory and other facilities at E-JUST focus on the scientific documentation, analysis, and preservation of both organic and inorganic materials. The laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art scientific instruments and tools that enable researchers to study the composition, structure, and deterioration mechanisms of these materials, as well as assess the materials used in conservation processes.

The laboratories use a multidisciplinary approach, combining techniques from chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science to study and understand heritage objects. Researchers employ non-destructive and non-invasive methods whenever possible to analyze the materials without causing damage.
