Call for papers--COST Action D42

COST Action D42
"ENVIART" Final Conference
European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical
    Research (COST)
Final conference

'Impact of the Indoor Environment on the Preservation of our Movable
    Heritage'
Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
8-9 November 2010

This is the first call for papers for the Final Conference for COST
Action D42.

The Action aimed to explore the chemical interactions between
cultural artifacts and indoor environmental conditions, and to
provide results that would inform preventive conservation practice.

26 countries have been involved in the Action, undertaking field and
laboratory research into the chemical impact of the environment on
materials. The Conference will provide a platform for participating
scientists to present research completed during the three years of
activity, and to share the results with a wider community concerned
with the protection of cultural heritage.

It is also intended that the conference provides an opportunity for
new connections to be made that will strengthen and promote
continued global research aimed at mitigating against the
environmental risks that threaten our heritage.

The conference will be preceded by a number of tour options, ranging
from the archaeological landscape of early Ireland to the modern
urban city environment.

In this first call abstracts for papers are invited. Please submit
abstracts of 200 words: john.havermans<-at->tno<.>nl by 28 February 2010
using a special lay-out which can be found soon at

    <URL:http://www.enviart.org>

or directly from John Havermans or the organizing committee.

The Technical Committee for the conference is chaired by John
Havermans.

The Organising Committee at Trinity College Dublin is chaired by:

    Susan Bioletti <bioletts<-at->tcd<.>ie> and
