NICAS Project Week 2020

Full Programme

We are very pleased to invite you to the NICAS Project Week 2020. This coming December, the Netherlands Institute for Conservation+ Art+ Science+ will celebrate its 5th birthday. Because of COVID-19, we won’t be able to organize a Project Day like we usually do, which is why we decided to host a digital Project Week. 

In the first week of December (30 November – 4 December), we will host 5 days of online presentations. Every day from 16-17hrs CET, project leaders will present their research in a livestream. The aim of Project Week is to inform everyone about current NICAS research projects. Project Week will focus on projects that received funding in the NICAS calls for proposals organized by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

You are kindly invited to join us during this festive NICAS week! We also encourage you to forward this event to anyone who might be interested in the NICAS research projects.
