Because European Cultural Heritage is an invaluable legacy, the Ministry for Science and Innovation funded the Spanish Network on Science and Technology for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage (TechnoHeritage), which began its activities in March 2011.Currently seventy five groups participate in the Network, includingSpanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Spanish universities teams, culturalinstitutions, foundations and museums, and private companies. One of the activitiesof the Network is the organization of annual meetings. This International Congress—organised on behalf of TechnoHeritage by the Universidade de Santiago deCompostela— has a goal of creating an interdisciplinary forum for discussion onall aspects of cultural heritage conservation while providing an up-to-date andcomprehensive picture of the state-of-the-art investigations in this field.
