Project envisages creation of a temporary multinational and multidisciplinary partnership for a functional advanced laboratory for restoration/conservation. The Laboratory will be organized in Constanta (an ancient town at Romanian Black Sea coast) for two weeks in second part of April 2004. This project is an innovative form of representation of the synergy and the European contributions to the preservation of Ancient Cultural Heritage - a demonstrative most advanced laboratory created for a precious and relative new discovered ancient site (1957 - 1988) in Dobrogea region.

This Laboratory is the first one in the world that will benefit by such a number of advanced techniques and modern methods of restoration. Presented techniques - remote sensing control of environment quality, light dosimeters, laser cleaning systems with various characteristics, portable holographic interferometer, portable laser induced breakdown spectrometer, and multispectral analyser - never been integrated in the same restoration studio or yard.
