Publications

The proceedings are meant to communicate scientific knowledge to an industry representatives, thus enabling the optimisation of wood modification processing and the development of new modification processes. This is critical for linking efforts from academia, industry and other relevant stakeholders. 

This book contains 12 fully refereed papers and five abstracts, presented at the COST Action G8 international workshop on ‘Benefits of non-destructive analytical techniques for conservation’, which was organised at the Malta Centre for Restoration in January 2004. Three approaches of how professionals can benefit from non-destructive and/or non-invasive analytical techniques are presented. Training in analytical techniques at various conservation schools is considered first, followed by how these techniques are utilised in conservation laboratories working on museum artefacts, or during on-site investigations of built structures. Finally, the recent interest of research laboratories is discussed.
