International conférence on wooden cultural héritage. Evaluation of détérioration and management of change.

The Workshop will be hosted jointly by the Institute of Wood Technology and Wood Biology (HTB) of the Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute (vTI), and the University of Hamburg, Department of Wood Science (Organiser: Dr. Uwe Noldt).
The conference programme is organised around three main themes:

  • 1. Non Destructive methods at various scales: techniques, instrumentation, case studies;

  • 2. Evaluation of past intervention and re-treatment;

  • 3. Aspects of wood science relevant to conservation.

Each theme will be allocated about 1/3rd of the Workshop.

Contributions should provide innovative approaches or present state-of-the art aspects relevant to the above themes. Given the nature of the conference, perspective contributors should strive to submit contributions targeted at the mixed audience (wood scientists, conservationists, …). Oral and Poster presentations will be selected on the basis of relevance to the themes, scientific quality and ability to reach a mixed audience.

Early indication of interest in submitting contributions should be sent in the form of proposed title to the Luca Uzielli (Chairman of COST Action IE0601; email: luca.uzielli@unifi.it) or to Joseph Gril (Vice-Chairman of the Action; email: jgril@lmgc.univ-montp2.fr), as soon as possible. Extended abstracts of contribution(s), oral presentation or posters, should be one or two pages long. Abstracts should be submitted by 31st May, 2009 by email to Luca Uzielli or Joseph Gril.
