Such green solutions include those inspired by historical recipes reevaluated based on their level of greenness, and recently developed bio-originated methods, using gels amended by microorganisms, metabolites (as chelating agents) and greener solvents for the uptake of metal ions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core activity includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>selection of traditional materials that are considered effective by conservators as a reference benchmark, and preparation of test systems;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>development and evaluation of innovative methods inspired by historical recipes;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>development and evaluation of innovative green methods inspired by biological processes and green synthesis;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>in-situ application of the best-performing technologies on selected case studies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, researchers are involved in the transversal tasks related to the characterization and monitoring (ageing tests), and to the determination of damage functions and sensitivity of iron. HE-Arc CR conservation educators will participate for the preparation of didactic materials and organisation of workshops focusing on the application and assessment of cleaning and stabilization on metal artefacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RESULTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within this project, we will propose more reliable and conscious conservation practices that would lead to decreased risks for artworks, operators and environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FUNDING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State Secretary for Education, Research and Innovation &#8211; SERI and European Research Executive Agency-REA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbfi.admin.ch\/en\">sbfi.admin.ch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PARTNERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>University of Amsterdam (UvA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uva.nl\">uva.nl<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>University of Bologna (UNIBO) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unibo.it\/it\">unibo.it<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iit.it\/\">iit.it<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnrs.fr\/en\/the-cnrs\">cnrs.fr<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ecole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure Paris Saclay (ENS Saclay) <a href=\"https:\/\/ens-paris-saclay.fr\/\">ens-paris-saclay.fr<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niku.no\/en\/\">niku.no<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rijksmuseum (RM) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijksmuseum.nl\/en\">rijksmuesum.nl<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SAATI <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry PAS (IKIFP) <a href=\"https:\/\/ikifp.edu.pl\/en\/\">ikifp.edu.pl<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Universit\u00e9 Paris1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne (Sor) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pantheonsorbonne.fr\/\">pantheonsorbonne.fr<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>English Heritage Trust (EH) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.english-heritage.org.uk\/\">english-heritage.org.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Courtauld Institute of Art (CRT) <a href=\"https:\/\/courtauld.ac.uk\/\">courtauld.ac.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-cards  \">\n\n    \n      \n        <ul class=\"flex-row mt-3 w-list-unstyled\">\n              <li class=\"size-full\">\n  \n  \n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.he-arc.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2022-Projet_GoGreen-ok.pdf\"  class=\"cta-card is-wide is-shadowed\">\n                <div class=\"cta-card__inner is-with-arrow\">\n                <h3 class=\"cta-card__title pretty-underline is-xlarge\">PDF version<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"cta-card__description is-large\"><\/p>\n                  <span class=\"icon-arrow-right cta-card__arrow\" \/>\n              <\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    \n  \n<\/li>\n          <\/ul>\n    \n  \n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":62382,"template":"","he-arc_domain":[5],"he-arc_project_skill":[],"he-arc_project_year":[44,45,46,111,112],"class_list":["post-62372","he-arc_project","type-he-arc_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","he-arc_domain-conservation-restauration","he-arc_project_year-44","he-arc_project_year-45","he-arc_project_year-46","he-arc_project_year-111","he-arc_project_year-112"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>GoGreen \u2013 Green strategies to conserve the past and preserve the future of cultural heritage - Haute-Ecole Arc<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.he-arc.ch\/en\/projets-recherche\/gogreen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"GoGreen \u2013 Green strategies to conserve the past and preserve the future of cultural heritage - Haute-Ecole Arc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"OBJECTIVES The Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-restauration, as part of the HES-SO network, is involved in a research project entitled GoGreen (Green strategies to conserve the past and preserve the future of cultural heritage).
