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
