The Intensive Schools on Conservation Science are dealing with the physicochemical aspects of cultural heritage preservation, and mainly address 2nd and 3rd cycle science students, as well as active professionals, wishing to acquire a solid knowledge on the ways natural and material sciences are applied in the safeguarding and authentication of tangible works of art.
A multinational team of experts from Erasmus and Tempus countries are delivering theoretical and hands-on lectures on important aspects of conservation science, covering both basic information and research case studies. The three previous schools, organized in the frame of the Lifelong Learning Programme and under the auspices of the European Chemistry Thematic Network, were held at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2006 and 2009; and at the University of Palermo, Italy, in 2008.
