- to give participants the theoretical and practical knowledge essential for diagnosing the causes of deterioration, and for selecting the most appro¬priate methods of conservation and restoration of wood;
- to extend the knowledge of participants beyond their own professions for a broader under-standing of different aspects and approaches to wood conservation;
- to bring people with various professions from different countries and cultures together for a mutual learning experience, drawing on different experiences, practices and approaches to wood conservation and use of wooden materials.
