The research carried out at the CRCC is applied, and its primary aim is to provide the heritage community and those involved in conservation with new answers and tools to ensure the best possible preservation of cultural, scientific and technical heritage. Some of this work is financed by calls for tender, contracts, grants and endowments from the cultural or heritage institutions concerned. Nevertheless, in order to acquire new knowledge that will pave the way for identified applications, it is necessary to examine in greater depth the theoretical aspects of alteration mechanisms and to develop new analytical methodologies that are adapted to the specific nature and constraints of heritage objects, taking into account the imperatives of sustainable development.
