7th International Congress Chemistry for Cultural Heritage 2024 (CHEMCH 2024)

EuChemS, the European Chemical Society (https://www.euchems.eu/about-us/what-is-euchems/) aims to nurture a platform for scientific discussion and to provide a single, unbiased European voice on key policy issues in chemistry and related fields. The EuChemS Working Party on Chemistry for Cultural Heritage organised in 2010 the first International ChemCH congress in Ravenna and since then other four editions have been held in Istanbul (TR) in 2012, Vienna (AT) in 2014, Brussels (BE) in 2016, in Bucarest (Ro) in 2018, and in 2022 again in Ravenna (IT) (postponed from 2020 due to pandemic situation). CHEMCH 2024 topics are: Chemical imaging and spectral imaging Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for diagnostics, conservation and restoration Sustainable materials and methods for conservation and restoration Development of non-invasive / microinvasive analytical methods for artworks Alteration phenomena: chemical interaction of environment and artworks Data processing and chemometrics for cultural heritage investigations Self-boundaries for safe analysis Multi and transdisciplinary studies of cultural heritage Chemical aspects of biological alteration phenomena Environmental chemistry aspects in heritage conservation Cross-disciplinary visions for heritage science, conservation and restoration Development of improved spectroscopic, microscopic & chromatographic methods
