The sixth edition of the international SR2A conference, which took place at the musée du Louvre from the 9th to the 12th Sept. 2014, has definitively been a success. It gathered almost 300 people (224 if you except the public session) from all over the world. 23 countries from 4 continents were represented by scientists from the distinct types of institutions : universities, museums, large-scale facilities, research institutes and private sector.
The 2014 edition of the conference was structured around four sessions :
Conservation and alteration
Processes and chaînes opératoires
New methods and analytical processes
and, for the first time : palaeontology and palaeo-environments
In addition to this diversity, the event included a conference open to the public, which gave them an insight into the current researches. Finally, satellite events were organised such as study visits driven by Louvre curators, a temporary bookshop and a conference dinner at the musée d’Orsay. We would like to thank our partners and sponsors for their support in the organization of this event.
