The expertise at the Raymond Lemaire Centre for conservation has been developed through more than 15 years of research carried out at the Centre. PhD have been dealing with “The use of three-dimensional techniques of documentation and dissemination in studying built heritage” and with development of strategies for the conservation of archaeological ruins. Earlier PhD work has been dealing with material research and structural issues related to conservation of the built fabric. Various research projects have been dealing with the above mentioned expertise, sometimes related to specific archaeological sites as was the case in Sagalassos (Turkey); Jebley (Syria) or Bousu (Belgium). Some projects were overarching as was the case for the 7 years collaboration project with the Instituto Nacional dell Patrimonio Cultural in Ecuador (the Ecuabel project) that included various aspects of heritage preservation including museology, archaeology, architecture, conservation of archives and mural paintings.
