Call for presentations and posters--Workshop on non-invasive investigation of the surface and subsurface structure of heritage objects

CHARISMA workshop

New techniques for the non-invasive investigation of the surface and
    subsurface structure of heritage objects
Nicolaus Copernicus University
Torun, Poland
25-26 June 2013

Organized by the National Gallery London in cooperation with NCU
under the CHARISMA EU project

This two-day workshop will provide an overview of both new emerging
non-invasive examination techniques that are in development and
those already available more widely. The focus will be on describing
the characteristics and capabilities of each type of
instrumentation, including some scientific background but with the
emphasis on case studies illustrating practical applications in the
cultural heritage field.

There will be no admission fee.

The workshop is complementary to the CHARISMA training event
immediately following it, on application of Optical Coherence
Tomography (OCT) to structural analysis.

Invitation for submission of posters

    Although the main programme will comprise mainly invited
    presentations, an open call is being made for poster
    presentations on the themes of the workshop. There will be a
    dedicated poster session and in addition six poster submissions
    will be chosen for short oral presentations (10-15 minutes
    each). An abstract (maximum 400 words) should be submitted by
    email to
