On May 20, 2025, the GREENART Project hosted a major public training event at TATE Britain in London, gathering scientists, conservators, museum professionals and students to explore the project’s latest advancements in sustainable materials and techniques for cultural heritage conservation.
The day featured four engaging sessions, two lecture-based and two practical demonstrations, chaired by renowned experts including Jane McCree (TATE), Julia Nagle (UK), Bronwyn Ormsby (TATE), and Antonio Mirabile (France).
Participants heard from leading voices in the field, including Prof. Piero Baglioni (University of Florence), Camilla H. M. Camargos, Chiara Biribicchi, Soraya Alcalá, Penelope Banou, and many others, as they presented innovative hydrogels, nanofluids, and green solvents developed through GREENART’s research.
Afternoon demonstration sessions provided hands-on insights into the real-world application of these tools, showcasing case studies such as the cleaning of Bridget Riley’s paintings, historical prints, and mock-ups using GREENART materials.
The training reinforced GREENART’s mission: to transform conservation science through eco-safe, high-performance materials that respect both heritage and the environment.
