This meeting is a platform to discuss topics and burning questions regarding the conservation and research of painted objects.
The presentations will be conservation related. While the programme is already partly filled, there is some time for presentations, full or short. In addition, we welcome relevant announcements, discussion topics, themes etc. Please send your suggestions by email to Klaas Jan van den Berg.
It will be a hybrid meeting, so it will be possible to attend online.
Registration
Admission is free after online registration.
