Since October 2009 the Doerner Institut has been involved in the EU-project CHARISMA, which is comprised of 21 European partners. CHARISMA (Cultural Heritage Advanced Research Infrastructures: Synergy for a Multidisciplinary Approach to Conservation/Restoration) is an EU-funded integrating activity project carried out in the FP7 Capacities Specific Programme Research Infrastructures.
The project provides transnational access to most advanced scientific instrumentations and knowledge allowing scientists, conservators-restorers and curators to enhance their research at the field forefront. Specialists from the fields of arts and sciences, design and set-up new instrumentations and methodologies developing the most promising technological applications and sustainable solutions to improve diagnostics and monitoring. A new extended cooperation among European infrastructures, paves the way towards expanding the harmonisation of best practices in studies and conservation.
