You are cordially invited to attend the 8th European Conference on Research for Protection, Conservation and Enhancement of Cultural Heritage (www.chresp.eu), which will be held at Hotel Union, Ljubljana, Slovenia, from 10th to 12th November 2008. The event is supported by the European Union through its 7th Research Framework Programme (under the activity 6.3 "Environmental technologies").
CHRESP conference programme
----------------------------------------------------------
The programme of oral sessions and posters is available from web page: http://www.chresp.eu/Programme.aspx
CHRESP demonstration area
----------------------------------------------------------
A demonstration area will be organised in the conference venue, to present technologies, tools, devices and prototypes, developed under the framework of EC and National funded research projects. This exhibition will promote further exploitation of all of these products and prototypes, by showing their applicability to potential end users, conservators, curators, owners and managers of cultural heritage assets. Besides, it will be an opportunity for decision- makers and relevant authorities, as well as the scientific community to learn about the potentially marketable products developed under recent research projects.
In this context, most representative market oriented EC and National funded research projects will be presented, covering movable and immovable heritage prototypes and products, ICT tools, sensors and decision support based platforms. More than 30 stands will be distributed at the exhibition area.
