The aim of the Meeting is to promote the development and use of X-ray techniques in order to extract information from the objects of cultural heritage. It is also a forum to bring together scientists, whose major expertise is in a high-tech field, and museum professionals (conservators and curators) whose particular responsibility is the organization and preservation of collections, and to spread the newest results in the area of scientific investigations of art objects.
