9th Congress of Science and Art
This R&D forum, which is being held of October 17 to 19 The 2022 report addresses the contributions of scientific research developed worldwide to the conservation and restoration of cultural property. These contributions are now being recognized, and it is undeniable that any conservation center internationally needs to create, support, and develop expert groups in scientific and technical areas for the safeguarding of heritage. This reality has led to the existence and recognition of a discipline that is now professionally established in all countries involved in the protection of historical heritage: Heritage Science.
