The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Scientific Methods in Cultural
Heritage Research is designed specifically for graduate students,

conservation science, and technical art history.

This meeting will explore the applicability of new techniques and
technologies from outside disciplines to the study of cultural
heritage.  The content of the presentations will encourage
communication among emerging professionals in the diverse fields
that impact cultural heritage science and also engage the
development of new methodologies for technical art history.

Seminar topics:

    Invited keynote by Greg Smith (Indianapolis Museum of Art)

    Analytical methodologies for investigating historic artworks and
    materials

    Scientific communication in cultural heritage: collaborative
    case studies
