Workshop on non-destructive analysis

"non-destructive Analysis in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage"
The Gugong Institute of the Palace Museum
Beijing, China
13-18 November 2016

IIC is pleased to announce that its 2nd training course,
co-organised with the Palace Museum in Beijing, is now calling for
applications

With the aim of training conservation scientists in both the theory
and application of non-destructive analysis, this one week workshop
will inform participants of the new methods that are best suited for
specific problems in the museum context and the associated
challenges that arise when analysing museum objects.  The teaching
faculty is composed of conservation scientists and specialists from
IIC, the Palace Museum and other leading institutions.  Participants
will be guided in the basics of operating associated analytical
equipment, explore the advantages and limitations of different
techniques, and also compare the use of different static facilities
and portable equipment.  At the conclusion of the course,
participants will be in a better position to determine the
appropriate non-destructive analytical approaches to solve practical
cases in their own particular situations.

The course is open to 24 participants who possess a background in
science or conservation studies and are currently engaged in the
scientific analysis of artefacts within their institution.  Costs of
attending the programme will be covered for participants residing
outside Mainland China.  For more information on the curriculum and
