It featured cutting-edge topics, interdisciplinary research and innovative applications of traditional and novel analytical methods. Its focus is: characterization of art objects and archaeological artifacts; analysis and reconstruction of technologies of selection, preparation, production, testing and performance by which materials are produced and transformed into useful, significant and beautiful objects; the properties and performance of ancient objects and the processes underlying their deterioration, preservation and conservation; and the development of sensors, proxies and other tools and methods for evaluating long-term stability, for non-destructive, in-situ examination and characterization and for testing new methods and materials for conservation treatment.
