4th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE  OF COST ACTION IE0601

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

Interaction between Wood Science and Conservation of Cultural Heritage

Izmir, Turkey, 20-22 October 2010
The Conference will be hosted by Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Architecture
(Organiser: Dr. M.Tanac Zeren- Dr.O.Yılmaz Karaman)

Conference Theme

For the past three years, this COST Action has covered a diverse range of wood science applications to understanding, diagnosing, preserving and treating wooden cultural objects.

As already mentioned in the First Announcement, this conference will attempt to reach conclusions, highlight the achievements, identify gaps and discuss future research. We invited papers emphasizing the main theme of the Action – the interaction between wood science and conservation, and papers presenting results of recent research concerning study and conservation of wooden cultural heritage objects.

Sessions will be plenary, in order to foster multidisciplinary approaches; time will be allocated for discussions including general questions, state of the art, future research needs.

Key dates

28 June 2010 Deadline for Authors to answer acceptance message (needed for COST reimbursement)

10 July 2010 Deadline for Registration (Registration form)

04 October 2010 Deadline for Submitting Full Papers

Full papers of all contributions (Orals and Posters) will be posted on the Action’s website approximately 2 weeks before the Conference, so that interested people may examine them and prepare for discussions.
