The
Final Event of the Short
Wavelength Laboratory Sources COST Action was organized
as a joint conference of the COST twin Actions IE0601 and MP0601 in November
2011 in Paris, and was dedicated to the memory of Professor Zsolt Kajcsos, who
was involved in both Actions and who passed away several months earlier. The
conference venue was the Research Centre
of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Paris, rue Lauriston 74 – all lectures,
poster sessions, lunches, and evaluation sessions proceeded in the same place.
The
meeting of the Action IE0601 – “Wood Science for Conservation of Cultural
Heritage” – started already on 14th November. On November 16th, researchers
from both Actions were participating in a Joint Session “Photon Technologies
for Conservation of Wooden Cultural Heritage”, with lectures showing the
synergy of the Actions and common scientific interests. On this day the meeting
was visited by the wife and daughter of Professor Kajcsos and the meeting
program included a short session in memory of Zsolt Kajcsos.
Two next days were devoted
exclusively to the MP0601 topics.
The
organizational details are listed in the registration
form, the venue is shown at the attached map
of the Paris centre.
The
following locations are linked to documents containing the agenda of the meeting, its
detailed program, the conference photo, and
the list of emails of all
participants.
Most
of talks and several posters presented at the meeting are accessible through
this web page. Links to these materials are listed below.

Unfortunately,
due to the last moment resignation of many registered participants the poster
session was significantly smaller than expected. From the same reasons, also
few talks had to be canceled. On the other side, few researchers participated
in the event without previous registration (or late registration, what made
them not eligible for reimbursement).
