The IN2PAST National Researchers Meetings aim to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge and dialogue between preservation practices, knowledge and the configuration of the past, constituting the forum of reference and excellence for sharing research developed within the scope of the five thematic lines (LT) of the Associated Laboratory:

LT1 | Science and Technology for Cultural Heritage
LT2 | Landscape, Territories and Cultural Heritage
LT3 | Museums, Monuments and their Collections
LT4 | Archives, from Preventive Preservation to Digitization
LT5 | Cultural Circulations, Public Memory Policies and Inclusive Citizenship

 

It is also the privileged space for the construction of new forms of research and innovation, as well as for the enhancement of knowledge and collaborations between the researchers that are part of IN2PAST, from its seven research and development units (UID).
