Transitional metals in paper

By means of working-meetings and workshops the present state of conservation science and technology related to transitional metals in paper will be exchanged and new conservation strategies & technologies will be discussed and related to the needs of the end-user. Research is done at different levels, thus the network will deal with stakeholders coming from 12 research institutes, 2 suppliers and l0 end-users, holding the problem. The project consists of 5 work packages with their own WP-leader. Participants will be put into three disciplines: science, suppliers and end-users. Subsequently 8 themes will be established as degradation mechanisms, inhibitors, and analyses. The network dissemination will deal with the needs of the end-users, technology possibilities, and publication will be done in Int. Journals. Short-term exchange of participants is allowed for improving knowledge and technology.
