Netherlands Institute for Conservation, Art and Science

NICAS Project Day 2017

13Nov2017 13:00 - 18:00

Event

On Monday 13 November, NICAS will organise a Project Day, informing you about various research projects. This year, the focus will be on projects carried out by the partners within NICAS and with other partners in the Netherlands.

We would like to invite everyone to join us for the presentation of these projects.

In addition to presenting these projects, there will be moments for networking during the afternoon and during drinks after the presentations. This will give everyone ample opportunity to discuss plans for future research that we hope to present at a next edition of the Project Day.

Everyone is welcome to attend, so please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues or other people who may be interested in the activities of NICAS.
