SYNOPSIS
Currently there is a lack of methodologies for the conservation of modern and contemporary artworks, many of which will not be accessible in very short time due to extremely fast degradation processes. The challenge of the Horizon 2020 EU-project NANORESTART (NANOmaterials for the REStoration of works of ART) is to address this issue within a new framework with respect to the state of the art of conservation science. NANORESTART is devoted to the development of nanomaterials to ensure long term protection and security of modern cultural heritage materials, taking into account environmental and human risks, feasibility and materials costs. Some of the most relevant results achieved during the first two years of the project (started on June 2015) will be presented.
Finally, the new European Initiative ECHOES – Enabling Cultural Heritage Oriented European Strategies - will be officially presented. ECHOES is an open initiative active in the field of Cultural Heritage sciences, which aims to guarantee complementarity among projects, to establish a critical mass of resources at the European level and to create a network between conservation scientists, Cultural Heritage operators and common citizens.
