3 International Congress on Chemistry for Cultural Heritage, July 1 — 5, Vienna

Since the very beginning of investigation, preservation, and conservation-restoration of our cultural heritage Chemistry has been playing an important role in documentation, studying ancient production of materials and art technology, understanding of degradation processes and present state of works of art, as well as developing and evaluating new materials and methods for interventions of both, movable and immovable art works. In the last decades the booming developments in chemical science, especially in analytical, organic or environmental chemistry, but also in the fields of electronics and computer sciences has brought us new instruments and methods of great perfection, which present new horizons in the analysis, diagnosis and protection of art and cultural objects.

The conference is organized by the Institute of Science and Technology in Art of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in cooperation with the Vienna University of Technology and the Austrian Chemical Society under the auspices of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences.
