- Policies, legislation, standardisation, and sustainability strategies in cultural heritage.
ZAG has prepared a brochure summarizing its involvement in the CH research projects on a national as well as international level (FP's). ZAG aims at an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to cultural heritage research which needs to be carried out before and during the planned renovation and restoration works.
Some of our researchers will also hold their poster sessions.
