  1. The French National Research Programme on Sciences and Conservation of the Materials of the Cultural Heritage Results and Future Sylvie MAX-COLINART Co-ordinator of the Programme French Ministry of Culture and Communication, Department for Development and International Policy Mission of Research and Technology sylvie.colinart@culture.gouv.fr Roger-Alexandre LEFEVRE President of the Scientific Committee of the Programme Professor at the University Paris XII lefevre@lisa.univ-paris12.fr 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006

  2. Why a National Research Programme? The research in the field of Sciences and Conservation of Cultural Heritage faces many handicaps • The works in this field needs interdisciplinary research which is not always recognised and well evaluated by their research national bodies. • The researchers are scattered through the French territory and they belong to different institutions. • Therefore, their works are sometimes difficult to identify. During restoration, study for The Sleep by Rodin, 19th century, terracotta, plaster, paper, waxes Paris, Musée Rodin 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006

  3. Consequently, in 2003, the French Ministry of Culture has decided to create a national programme in order to: • - give a better legibility to research in the field of conservation, • promote a new synergy between researchers, • - help technological transfers and innovation activities. Annual funding set aside for research projects: In 2003 - 2004 : 260 k€ In 2005 - 2006 : 300 k€ Six projects selected each year by a scientific committee and a steering committee 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006

  4. Four main topics in the call for research projects: 1- Fundamental knowledge on materials of the Cultural Heritage, 2- Impact of the environment on weathering and conservation of Cultural Heritage, 3- Interpretation of weathering processes and settling of specifications for interventions, 4- Research in conservation-restoration. 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006

  10. Main results of the Programme - These results confirm the interest of French scientists in the field of conservation - A better identification of the research teams is now possible - The program is now well identified and new teams apply to the call - The French network in the field of conservation is reinforced by a better legibility of research teams - The scientific level of the proposals has increased 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006

  11. Prospects Next steps Dissemination of the works thanks to: • Organisation of an international conference at the end of 2007 to present the results of the four calls • Publicationsof the results in journals for end-users such as conservator-restorers, architects, curators, etc. at a national and international level • On-line information on the Web site of the MCC • http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/conservation/fr/comite/comite.htm 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006

  12. Women holding a horn of plenty Charles Le Brun, 17th Planning the future for the Programme The National Programme will continue We have to: - take into account the new landscape of French and European research - Introduce new partnership - Increase the subsidies thanks to theFrench Ministry of Culture and the participation of other Ministries • Funding National Programmes in the 7th Framework Programme 7th European Conference Sauveur,  Safeguarded Cultural Heritage, Prague 31May-3 June 2006
