COST is an intergovernmental European framework for international co-operation between nationally-funded research activities, created in 1971 and funded by the EU Framework Programme. COST supports coordination of scientific networks and dissemination of their results, thus enabling scientists to collaborate in a wide spectrum of activities in research and technology. (see also: http://cost.cordis.lu).
Cultural Heritage lies at the heart of both, the diversity and the identity between regions in the evolving EU, and its appreciation is thus essential for enhancing the integration process. Therefore, the long term preservation of Europe's cultural heritage is a duty and a challenge, for ethical and political reasons, as well as for the health of the EU economy. Crossing borders is an essential part of research for safeguarding cultural heritage. Interdisciplinary approaches need to bring together highly specialised experts, developing new technologies with the end users who are in charge of historic objects and ancient sites. Aims. Therefore, this COST workshop has been conceived with the following objectives: to increase awareness of the need for protection of cultural heritage, to promote conservation research on a European level, to encourage networking between different international organisations, to present the results of COST Actions and to explore potential synergies for the future. Join us! The organisers invite experts from different fields and stakeholders on different levels to attend: curators, conservators and heritage managers in charge of collections or archaeological sites; scientists, engineers and architects experienced in interdisciplinary research for cultural heritage; politicians and decision makers involved in cultural issues.
