NANO-CATHEDRAL is an Innovation Action supported by the European Commission under the HORIZON 2020 Programme. The project is devoted to analysis, conservation and protection of stone related to European architectural heritage by including outstanding and representative ecclesiastical and secular buildings in its research. It brings together 19 partners from all over Europe with very different expertises and backgrounds, under the coordination of  Professor Andrea Lazzeri, University of Pisa, Italy (INSTM).

The project, started in June 2015, is now come to an end. To celebrate this finish line during the Year of Cultural Heritage, Nano-Cathedral partners decided to organize a big event to show project results and to let people understand the importance or funding in the field of research for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage.

The Nano-Cathedral Final event will take place in the amazing Ex Sala degli Affreschi located in Pisa’s Cathedral Square on May 17th 2018.

Participation to the conference is free but we kindly ask you to confirm your participation at the following email address: [email protected]
