Course on stone conservation

Course on stone conservation
Amsterdam
May 27 - June 7, 2013

Under the framework of the EU project CHARISMA: "Cultural Heritage
Advanced Research Infrastructures: Synergy for a Multidisciplinary
Approach to Conservation/Restoration", an itinerant course on stone
conservation was prepared and implemented in different parts of the
European territory.  The first venue took place in Lisbon, in 2012,
and the subsequent venue will be in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The course will address subjects ranging from stone materials to
conservation methods and products, from the preparatory steps to the
implementation phases of conservation interventions, and will aim at
providing the students with modern concepts and updated knowledge on
the most relevant aspects of this discipline.  The teachers come
from different CHARISMA partners and will include additional
external invited lecturers.

The course aims at contributing to raise the level of conservation
interventions in the European Cultural Heritage by providing to the
scientific researchers and professional conservator-restorers the
opportunity to learn with international experts and to update
knowledge on the major subjects relevant for their activity.
Conservation scientists and conservator-restorers are the target
public of the course. Students will have learning material and
tutorial learning time at their disposal.
