LACONA XIII – Lasers in Conservation of Artworks.

PTI-PAIS has colaborated with LACONA XIII and will be represented in Florence by various members and associates of our platform.

Here you can download the program

Some of our members presentations:

Session 1: Laser Treatments of Metal Artefacts
Ruth Lahoz – Innovative procedure for assessing laser interaction mechanisms on copper alloys and its validation on archaeological corrosion products

Poster Pitch 3: Inmaculada Donate – Advances in Photonic Diagnostics

Session 4: Advances in Compositional Photonic Diagnostics
Paula Carmona – Development of new SERS sensors based on the laser irradiation of the major hydration product of Portland cement

Session 5: Advances in Imaging Diagnostics
Mohamed Oujja – In-depth structural and compositional assessments of aged terpenoid varnish layer

About LACONA:

LACONA “Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks is the International Conference on advances in photonic techniques for diagnostics and conservation-restoration of cultural heritage.Since 1995, LACONA has gathered together researchers, conservators, and restorers from public institutions and private enterprises for discussing about novel approaches in non-invasive material characterization, conservation treatments, and monitoring based on photon sources and sensors.

The topics of the Conference focus on innovation in dedicated spectroscopic, imaging, and laser treatment systems and on their optimized application over the whole range of the conservation themes of tangible heritage.

LACONA XIII aims at strengthening and enriching the tradition of the Conference by encouraging the submission of contributions on the most advanced photonic tools and methods, their rigorous validation, and exemplary applications in safeguarding cultural heritage.

They plan to share manuscripts that will be submitted for publication after LACONA XIII in two independent issues but some interesting resources from previous editions can already be found here.

HSAcademy Video Webinar on laser interactions with materials in Heritage Science.

HS Academy Webinar 01/2022: Understanding laser interactions with materials in Heritage Science

Fundamentals and novel methodologies for characterization and conservation

Marta Castillejo (IQFR) PTI-PAIS coordinator inaugurated the HSAcademy webinars for 2022 organized by the HS Academy and we already have a recording of it.

Here you can see the video:

 

This webinar is an overview of pioneering laser ablation studies, that constitute the basis for laser cleaning applications, and of the parallel development of analytical methods based on laser spectroscopy and imaging techniques that have been adequately refined and adapted to the needs of heritage materials. This webinar will include recent and innovative studies on laser interaction with materials in the field of Heritage Science and its application to real conservation problems.

HSAcademy is a collaborative initiative between IPERION HS (www.iperionhs.eu) and E-RIHS (www.e-rihs.eu). The two European projects integrate facilities of recognized excellence in Heritage Science, offering access to a wide range of high-level scientific instruments, methodologies, data, tools and training opportunities for advancing knowledge and innovation in the field.The series contributes to the development of a vibrant heritage science community and is intended for anyone involved in interdisciplinary heritage research

The webinar took place online on January 11.

29 November to 2nd December (Update) – EMSLIBS 2021 – Euro-Mediterranean Symposium on Laser-Induced Breakdown will be held in Gijón (Spain)

The Euro-Mediterranean Symposium on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy will be held in Gijón (Spain) from November 29th to December 2nd.

We will be present there with the poster: «Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and Nonlinear Optical Microscopy for Analysis of Historical Glasses.» Lecture given by Marina Martínez Weinbaum (IQFR-PTI-PAIS)

«This event is a four-day conference and includes plenary talks, delivered by internationally recognized speakers, and oral sessions, where invited and selected contributors present their most relevant results. Participants will be able to visit the permanent poster exhibition and to meet the respective authors in the poster defence session. Moreover, 11th EMSLIBS will provide an excellent opportunity for suppliers of analytical instrumentation, relevant sample preparation equipment, consumables and chemicals, for LIBS and other related spectroscopy techniques, to exhibit at the conference. Additional entertainment will also be assured with various social activities organized throughout the conference.

The 11th EMSLIBS programme will comprise several hot-topics of the LIBS community, with sessions focused on subjects such as fundamentals, nano-LIBS, imaging or hyphenated techniques.

The original date had to be delayed due to the unique circumstances that we’re experiencing, with the confidence that we will be able to enjoy a face-to-face congress by the end of 2021.»

We will be present with the lecture of Marina Martínez-Weinbaum.
