Subject: Workshop on conservation
Workshop "Science, Technology and Cultural Heritage" November 9-11, 2005 Catania, Italy The Italian Vacuum Association (AIV) in conjunction with the Italian Association of Macromolecules (AIM) is organising an intensive three-day workshop for researchers, conservation scientists, conservators and curators with a strong cross-cultural attitude: science and technology will meet fine arts and humanistic culture to improve the knowledge and the conservation of cultural heritage. The conference is being hosted by the Diocesan Museum of Catania (Sicily, Italy) Contributions are especially welcomed in the following areas: techniques using vacuum and scientific investigation of polymers. However, the conference also remains open to inputs from other areas of research concerning cultural heritage. Proceedings are planned to be published in either journals or as a bound volume. The English language is mandatory for abstracts and paper text. The oral presentations are suggested in English. Nevertheless the Italian language is accepted only with slide texts in English. The workshop will host invited papers and presentations; a poster session will be held outside the meeting room. The invited speakers include leading Italian and international figures from the field of conservation science and conservation. The workshop is an excellent opportunity for companies, research institutions and conservation laboratories to show their products, activities and services. The exhibit will last two days. Some booths are available. The AIV is a non-profit, volunteer-based association dedicated to advancing the science and technology of vacuum, surfaces, interfaces, nanometer structures, electronic materials and processing, thin films, plasmas, and vacuum metallurgy and providing a variety of educational opportunities. The members of the AIV are active in fundamental and applied research, manufacturing, sales, and education. The AIV is member of the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique, and Applications (IUVSTA).
