The moment of creation and launching of our website coincides with a very special event - the very first in-person meeting of the whole PVCare group in Kraków! On January 19th and 20th, members from Poland and Slovenia will be able to exchange their past accomplishments and plan the work for the next weeks and months.

The visit of Slovenian researchers will be inaugurated by a faculty seminar at the Faculty of Chemistry JU on January 19th - prof. Matija Strlič will conduct a meeting under the name "From chemistry to social science: the heritage science of paper", where he'll share his vast experience with students and other attendees on the subject of conservatory research. A detailed description of the meeting can be found by following this link. After the discussions and deliberation after the lecture, our group will go to visit the National Archive in Kraków to examine the conservatory conditions within local collections - definitely, it will be a very inspiring and interesting visit.

Friday the 20th will be dedicated to short communications of the goups' researchers and also in-depth discussions on the subject of poly(vinyl chloride) conservation, the analysis of obtained results, and the planning of further endeavours within the project. Surely, the meeting will be really fruitful and will make up a truly important step in terms of future research!
