China and Greece Dialogues on Heritage Research and Conservation
December 14, 2022
DIALOGUE 05: Mr Guo Hong ,University of Science and Technology Beijing, China
“Restoration research of Drepung Monastery murals in Tibet”
Lasers ART's Sake IESL-FORTH Cultural Heritage
Optical technologies offer unique prospects as regards conservation and diagnostics in Cultural Heritage, yet their use in real-life conservation treatments is rather sporadic and far from routine, despite a number of brilliant applications, for example the Athens Acropolis conservation campaigns. Among the main reasons for the rare use of lasers in conservation practice is the lack of training opportunities. The OPTO-CH series of summer courses have as main goal to present advanced optical technologies in Cultural Heritage (CH) science and conservation to scientists and young conservation professionals within a training setting that will combine lectures from experts with practical hands-on experimental sessions that will enable participants to get a real feeling on how to use a number of advanced optical tools for analysis and characterisation of materials and surfaces.

E-RIHS.gr organizes an on-line webinar as a part of the HELLAS-CH project of the “ELI Synergy – LASER LAB Europe, HIRER & IPERION-CH.gr”.
Join us for an exciting journey to Crete to become acquainted with the latest developments on non-invasive optical technologies and explore their field applications in Cultural Heritage research and conservation.
The focused training-by-research course entitled “Bring your own Conservation Challenges to our Laser Laboratories” is an ongoing training activity since 2010. These activities, up to now, have been addressed to more than 10 professional conservators.
June 03-07, 2019
Lectures from experts on modern laser diagnostic and analytical techniques, as well as on laser cleaning methodologies will be combined with practical demos and laboratory hands-on sessions.
