Objectives

• Creation and ageing of test systems to investigate specific alterations of constituent materials of a composite objects.
• Understanding of early stages alteration, using analytical techniques merged with RTI, to prevent possible deterioration ensure long-term preservation.
• ML and DL multi-modal & multi-scale data analysis; 4) Conservation strategy and implementation on case study (CS2).

Goals

• Optimisation of a protocol through multimodal and multiscale approaches.
• Definition of a conservation strategy with practitioners.
• On-site validation and demonstration.
