meets IPERION-CH.gr 

 

29 JUNE- 03 JULY ● 2020

 IESL-FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece

 Join us for an exciting journey to Crete to become acquainted with the latest developments on non-invasive optical technologies and explore their field applications in Cultural Heritage research and conservation.

Dear colleagues,

due to the measures taken for Covid-19 outbreak, the OPTO-CH 2020 summer course, initially organized for June 29 - July 3, 2020, is cancelled.

We would like to thank the invited speakers for accepting to contribute to this summer school and all applicants who have already sent their application forms and letters of intent.

A new thematic will be designed for OPTO-CH 2021 so please stay tuned for further information and announcements.

SUMMER COURSE AIMS AND CONTENT

The aim of OPTO-CH 2020 summer course is two-fold:

  • to introduce participants to the applications of advanced laser-based technologies in Heritage Science,
  • to present the latest developments of IPERION-CH.gr  (E-RIHS.gr)  the Heritage Science node of the cross-disciplinary National Research Infrastructure HELLAS-CH operating at FORTH.

 

TIME-LINE:

Application deadline: April 26

Notice of acceptance: April 30

OPTO-CH 2020 summer course: 29 June – 03 July 2020

 

OUTLINE:

Lectures from experts on modern laser diagnostic and analytical techniques and laser cleaning methodologies will be combined with practical demonstrations and laboratory hands-on sessions. Field experiments on-site at a selected monument in Crete will follow in order to demonstrate the applicability of the techniques in practice.

The last day will be dedicated to IPERION-CH.gr; experts of FORTH researching on a wide range of heritage disciplines will present their work within the interdisciplinary concept of this national RI.

 
TOPICS

 

A. LECTURES ON LASER ANALYSIS AND CONSERVATION:

  • Materials analysis with Optical Spectroscopy (LIBS, Raman, Diffuse Reflectance)

  • Optical coherence metrology for structural diagnosis

  • Imaging and mapping; multispectral, photoacoustic and THz

  • Laser cleaning principles and methodologies

 
B. SPECIAL LECTURE:

Soon to be announced.

 

PARTICIPANTS:

Maximum number of participants: 15

The OPTO-CH concept relies on a) strong and effective interaction between participants and instructors and b) detailed practical demonstration and hands-on sessions. Therefore participants will be organized in four (3) groups of five (5).

Participants are invited to present case studies they are involved in and discuss challenges that might be addressed by optical diagnostic techniques.

The successful applicants will be selected on the basis of their merit and background.

 

COST

The course-fee is funded by the HELLAS -CH, a cross-disciplinary National Research Infrastructure (NRI).
