The 4CH project aims to set up the methodological, procedural, and organizational framework of a Competence Centre able to seamlessly work with a network of national, regional, and local Cultural Institutions, providing them with advice, support, and services focused on the preservation and conservation of historical monuments and sites.
The Competence Centre promotes a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the conservation of CH and facilitates coordination between Heritage Agencies and CH Institutions across Europe and ongoing European initiatives.
By building an effective partnership, 4CH enables the take-up and transfer of research project results by the cultural heritage sector.
Services and tools to enable preservation and conservation using the latest, most effective technologies will be provided by:
Establishing a map of research and cutting-edge technologies related to preservation, conservation and sustainable promotion of monuments and sites, which will be regularly updated;
- Reporting on the most valuable initiatives, experiences and best practices across Europe and internationally.
- Defining training and upskilling programs for cultural heritage institutions, operators and professionals;
- Developing consultancy, guidelines and protocols concerning the use of ICT with special attention to 3D technologies for management and their integration with monitoring technologies and sensors.

Over the past decades, the use of ultrashort pulsed laser sources for material processing and associated laser-driven physical phenomena has received considerable attention due to the important technological applications, in particular in industry and medicine. Various types of surface structures generated by laser pulses and, more specifically, the so-called laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on solids have been studied extensively. Several laser-driven processes take place to explain the self-organisation-based LIPSS formation. On the other hand, it is evident that the role of polarization and electrodynamics are crucial in the determination of the orientation of the induced periodic structures. In this talk, we will present a detailed discussion of the fundamental physical processes that take place on various timescales following irradiation of conducting materials with femtosecond pulses. The aim is firstly to provide an interpretation of the results observed in the lab through a detailed and consistent theoretical framework and secondly to provide a basis for materials research in various research activities at IESL-FORTH.
