The PhoHS team of IESL-FORTH participated actively in the 15th International Congress on the Deterioration and Conservation of Stone, held in Paris, 8–12 September 2025 👉 Stone 2025.

During the 4th Session on “Digitalization and AI in Stone Conservation”, P. Pouli presented recent advances of the laboratory entitled:
“AI-Driven Acoustic Monitoring of Laser Cleaning Interventions on Stonework”, co-authored with members of the PhoHS team.

Furthermore, our collaborative research within the framework of the CALLOS Project, conducted in partnership with the Ephorate of Antiquities of the City of Athens (EACA), Raymetrics SA, and ICS-FORTH, was presented through the following contributions:
