Overview

Non-destructive analysis has
become a crucial method to achieve more successful and long-lasting
preservation of works of art and environmental heritage. With the aim to
promote education and competence in this field, the "art" logo was created over
25 years ago and it still represents, in national and international meetings,
one of the most successful initiatives in this area. The desired synergy among
experts will lead to continuous development of new scientific methods in the
fields of preservation, reconstruction and diagnostics of cultural and
environmental artworks.

The last edition of the "art
Conference" was held in Madrid in June 2014 and promoted cooperation among
different specialists coming from all over the world and it strengthened the
relationship, especially between Italian and Spanish societies for non-destructive
testing (NDT).

ART'17
conference is organized in collaboration between American University of Sharjah
(AUS), the Italian Society of Non-Destructive Testing (AIPnD) and the International Centre for the
Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property - Architectural
and Archaeological Tangible Heritage in the Arab Region (ICCROM-ATHAR),
Sharjah.

ART'17 will
strive to achieve the above-mentioned goals by bringing together delegates,
conservation scientists and curators, art historians, analytical scientists and
architectural researchers. These experts will meet in Sharjah, a regional hub
for cultural heritage and activities. The technical and scientific program will
include both invited and short presentations and poster sessions that will
highlight the application of NDT in a large number of important sectors.
