FINAL PUBLIC TRAINING
The training organized by the European project APACHE and by the Hungarian National Museum aims to explore the consortium activities, to spread knowledge generated during the development of the project within academic, professional, potential users and industrial domains in addition to upskill key stakeholders and staff on the use of the novel materials/tools/solutions applied to the preventive conservation of cultural heritage.
WHEN: Wednesday, 29th June 2022
WHERE: Main Hall – Hungarian National Museum 1088 Budapest | Múzeum krt. 14–16, Hungary (Budapest)
> Demonstrations and practical activities will be in English, without simultaneous translation.
> Attendees are encouraged to bring his/her laptop and smartphone to test the innovative data management systems.
ORGANISATION:
- Antonio Mirabile (Paper Conservator, Project Dissemination Leader) / Piero Baglioni (CSGI-University of Florence, Project Coordinator)
- Hungarian National Museum
Participation to the workshop is free, upon registration within the limit of available places. In order to register, please complete the following form >>

Degradation of movable, tangible and indoor cultural heritage can be significantly increased by disadvantageous and unstable climate conditions, light, and intrinsic or external pollution. Preventive conservation aims to minimize aging and degradation by optimizing, among other, display and storage solutions. In the recent years, several active and intelligent packaging materials have been developed and put to use, especially in food industries. However, these materials are short-term solutions that cannot be easily adapted for cultural heritage, where long-term stability is mandatory. In the APACHE proposal, the novel combination of active novel packaging materials, developed based on materials modelling, with sensors and wireless sensor technologies (WST) provides smart, low-cost easy-to-deploy systems for storage and exhibition of cultural heritage objects. One of the main goal of APACHE is to dramatically reduce the costs of mechanical climate control and monitoring systems, by developing and customising smart and affordable novel materials, based on material science advancements and discrete and continuum modelling.
THE TRAINING FOCUSES ON THREE ESSENTIAL SECTIONS:
PRESENTATIONS
Lectures and presentations about the novel combination of active novel packaging materials, developed based on materials modelling, with sensors and wireless sensor technologies (WST) provides smart, low-cost easy-to-deploy systems for storage and exhibition of cultural heritage objects
WORKSHOP
Practical workshops around the application methodologies and the use of some developed technologies
PROJECT EXPERIENCES
A final interactive sessions with the aim of sharing the project experiences with conservators and collect feedbacks from potential end-users
