Technart 2019

 

The University of Antwerp (AXES group) and Musea Brugge (Municipal Museums of Bruges) will host the 2019 edition of Technart. The sixth edition of this biannual conference will take place in the historic city centre of Bruges (Belgium), which is listed as UNESCO world heritage. The main aim of this congress is to provide a scientific forum to present and promote the use of analytical techniques in the field of cultural heritage. The conference builds on the momentum of the previous TECHNART editions of Lisbon (2007), Athens (2009), Berlin (2011), Amsterdam (2013), Catania (2015) and Bilbao (2017).

The meeting offers an outstanding opportunity for exchanging knowledge  and experience on leading edge developments in cultural heritage analysis. This includes studies on pigments, lithic materials, metals, glass, ceramics, resins and fibres and also chemometrics, forensic applications, art history, archaeology and conservation science.
