The conference will summarize the achievements of the SyMBoL project aimed at understanding the appropriate environmental conditions for historical buildings and specifically for the Norwegian wooden medieval stave churches called “Stavkirker” in time of climate change, mass tourism and issues connected with the energy use.

The project has provided the necessary evidence-based data to understand what the circumstances are – in term of use and climate conditions – that can induce mechanical decay on pine wood, a material very present in the stave churches in Norway.

2. CollectionCare conference – New Challenges in Preventive Conservation, Predictive Analysis and Environmental Monitoring

Date: December 1-3, 2021

The conference aims to be a forum to exchange highly specialized research and the latest technological advances in the study of the behavior and aging of cultural heritage materials, environmental monitoring, and the design of preventive conservation strategies in collections.

The conference will be held jointly with a commercial exhibition hall where several companies will share their latest developments and products related to the topics of the conference.

Both conferences will be held in a virtual form, which is favorable to a wide audience.

We encourage you to participate!
