Introduction
The success of the first Oranienbaum Colloquium (see report in this Newsletter) enhanced us to continue with a second Colloquium again in Oranienbaum this year. It is foreseen to continue in the future the Colloquium in a two years term. We are very grateful to Dr. Weiss, Kulturstiftung DessauWörlitz, to host us another time at this wonderful place.
The Colloquium aims to be a platform for PhD students in conservation / restoration science and teachers involved in PhD study programs to discuss the state of the art of the discipline and to set up cooperation and exchange between institutions providing PhD programs in conservation / restoration science. New possibilities in conservation / restoration research by doctoral studies and integration in research projects as well as structural and financial support for PhD students and cooperation with neighbour disciplines shall be presented and discussed.
Another essential aim of the Oranienbaum Colloquium is presenting individual PhD – projects of graduated conservator/restorers in the three main fields of art technology, history of restoration and conservation / restoration science. The contributors should be very advanced in their last year before the doctoral promotion or they may have passed their doctoral examinations not longer than one year ago.
