Dear colleagues,
We’re pleased to announce that the GCI and the University of California at Santa Barbara are organizing a
symposium – Analytical Methodologies and Research Partnerships at the Interface of Chemistry and Art/Archeology –
at the American Chemical Society’s 251st National Meeting & Exposition,
which will take place in San Diego, California March 13-17th, 2016.
The symposium will highlight techniques used in, or developed for, the analysis of cultural heritage objects,
and how new and emerging partnerships (both academic/museum and industrial/museum) foster such development.
Invited speakers include:
Katherine Faber (California Institute of Technology)
Melinda Keefe (The Dow Chemical Company)
Mehdi Moini (George Washington University)
Stefan Simon (Yale University, Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage)
Kenneth Suslick (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).
We welcome your contributed papers discussing the use or development of analytical techniques for the analysis of cultural heritage objects or sites.
The abstract submission deadline is October 15, 2015 via the American Chemical Society’s website:
http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/abstract-submissions/acsnm251.html
(please select ‘Division of Analytical Chemistry’ during Abstract submission to access the symposium).
Please feel free to forward this information to anyone you feel might be interested.
Hope to see you in San Diego!
Regards,
Catherine Patterson,
Karen Trentelman,
and Mattanjah de Vries
