Vulnerability of cultural heritage to hazards and prevention measures

Objectives

The workshop will summarise state-of-the-art in the research of vulnerability of cultural heritage to natural and technological hazards in order to improve and up-to-date mutual information about scientific achievements and capacity of research facilities in the pre-Accession to the EU countries and will support transition of this information to the EU countries as well as to the countries of Community’s external policy interests. It will help to select themes for medium term courses and joint or concerted research in the field. It will gather data on relevant national and international funding possibilities. The workshop is aimed to direct cultural heritage research orientation and training of teachers safety and quality of life matters. All this will be used for relevant networking and twinning arrangements and links among pre-Accession to the EU countries, as well as, between them and the EU countries in the area of cultural heritage research.
