The registration will be charged in Brazilian Reais (R$, the Brazilian currency).
The Euro values are approximations since they fluctuate slightly every day.
The event will be hybrid!
With the success of RECH 7, it was decided that RECH 8 would also be a hybrid event. This way, even if you cannot be physically present, you can present your communication and participate in the meeting through an online platform.
Of course, the demonstrations and workshops will only be available to those attending the event in person.
RECH Biennial Meeting is one of the largest educational and scientific events in the chromatic reintegration field. It's an ideal venue for students, conservators and scientists to present their research results on this topic.
The focus is to promote the exchange of ideas, concepts, terminology, methods, techniques and materials, applied during the chromatic reintegration, retouching or inpainting.
This Meeting aims to share different approaches, that depend not only on the geographic location but that also vary in the different areas of conservation: mural painting, easel painting, sculpture, graphic documentation, architecture, plasterwork, photography, contemporary art, among others.
This year's meeting aims to gather proposals about materials.
This year's meeting aims to gather proposals about materials for reintegration across diverse geographical contexts. The focus is on understanding how to overcome geographical differences by utilizing standardized reintegration materials or developing new ones that can be adapted to various settings.
