Workshops
Sixth CrysAC Workshop, Paris, France, 23 August 2022
Topic: Micro- and nano-diffraction for cultural heritage
This workshop invites scientists from research institutions, museums, and conservation bodies, to illustrate state-of-the-art applications of diffraction techniques with sub-micron spatial resolution.
Fifth CrysAC workshop, Vienna, Austria, 17 August 2019
Topic: Crystallography of ancient metals and metal corrosion
This workshop invited scientists from research institutions, museums, and conservation bodies, to illustrate state-of-the-art applications of materials science in the field of archaeometallurgy, diagnostics and conservation of metals, authentication, corrosion processes, and other themes related to ancient metals and metallurgy.
Fourth CrysAC Workshop, Pucon, Chile, 8-9 November 2018
Topic: Characterization of Cultural Heritage and Forensic Materials
The purpose of this workshop was to strengthen the activity that takes place in the Latin American region in the field of characterization of Cultural Heritage and Forensic Science materials.
