Critical Heritage Studies is the working name of the priority research area on cultural heritage, initiated in 2010, at the University of Gothenburg. CHS was a priority research area funded between 2010-2015. Thanks to a successful application via the research investment UGOT Challenges, CHS could form a research center, Centre for Critical Heritage Studies, in 2016. Six strong research centres are included in UGOT Challenges, and all of them are based on important and current societal issues.
