The “Synchrotron Radiation for Cultural Heritage Materials – Part 2” webinar took place successfully on Wednesday, 21 January 2026, at 14:00 GMT.

Organized by the SAS Student Ambassadors, the event aimed to foster dialogue between cultural heritage researchers and synchrotron beamline scientists, addressing questions related to technology, provenance, and the preservation of cultural heritage materials.

The program featured two presentations:

Synchrotron applications on pigments by Marine Cotte (Beamline Group Leader, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility - ESRF, France)
Synchrotron applications on ancient metals by Emilie Bérard (Assistant Professor, Université Paris-Saclay, France)

There was strong interest in the event, reflected in the number of applications and the active participation during the webinar. It attracted participants from diverse disciplines, including archaeology, natural sciences, and conservation, and from different educational stages, ranging from undergraduate and master’s students to doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, and academic staff.
