Conferences and Meetings on Applied Chemistry: Chemistry of Building Materials and Archaeometry

The first Latin American Radiocarbon Conference (CLARa) is an important step for the Latin American radiocarbon community, which only obtained its first ¹⁴C-AMS laboratory in 2009 (LAC-UFF) in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. A second ¹⁴C-AMS laboratory (LEMA) in Mexico led to the expansion of radiocarbon research in Latin America.

The building sector is by far the largest consumer of raw materials and producer of human-made materials. From a sustainability and circularity point of view, the effects of this demand can among others be mitigated using biogenic resources, smart material design, enhanced durability, functionalization, reuse and recycling, and the use of side streams (“waste”). The conference addresses this challenge starting from a scientific approach: building materials science being a syncretic discipline hybridizing mineralogy, ceramics, solid-state physics, chemistry, metallurgy and biology. Advanced characterization and treatment methods, together with novel technologies and modelling tools, are vital for the study and improvement of the complete life cycle of building materials, from raw materials, to production, use and recycling.

University of Potsdam, Germany

This scientific congress brings together researchers from diverse areas and represents dedicated work on the use of Raman spectroscopy technique in the fields of art history, history, archaeology, palaeontology, conservation and restoration, museology, degradation of cultural heritage, archaeometry, etc. Furthermore, the development of new instrumentation, especially for non-invasive measurements, has received great attention in the past years.

The International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement (ICCC) is the renowned global platform which summarizes the state of art of cement chemistry as well as major trends in cement application.

Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCH, German Chemical Society)

Die GDCh-Fachgruppe Bauchemie, die seit 1997 besteht und z. Z. etwa 300 Mitglieder zählt, hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, bauchemische Kenntnisse zu bündeln, zum Informationsaustausch beizutragen und neue Impulse zu geben. Sie möchte das bauchemische Wissen aller Bauschaffenden verbessern, aber auch gesetzliche und behördliche Vorgaben fachlich fundiert beeinflussen.

University of Montréal, Canada

The leading theme of the conference is “Archaeozoology meets archaeometry“, as the conference’s main sponsor is the ArchéoScience/ArchéoSociale research group (AS2), which promotes the development of the archaeological sciences in anthropological perspectives.

Archaeozoology meets archaeometry

IBA-24 is organized by French Vacuum Society (Société Française du Vide)

Established since 1973 with the very first conference in June at the IBM Research Laboratories, Yorktown Heights, New York, the IBA (Ion Beam Analysis) conference deals with the Science, development, techniques and applications of energetic ion beams for analysis. The objective of the 24th International Conference on Ion Beam Analysis (IBA-24) is to assess the state of the art and the latest developments in IBA techniques and applications.

With this first circular we would like to inform you that the 7th International Conference on Late Roman Coarse Wares, Cooking Wares and Amphorae in the Mediterranean: Archaeology and Archaeometry (LRCW 7) will be held in València, Riba-roja de Túria and Alacant (15-19 October 2019). The conference will be organized by the Municipality of València (Secció d’Investigació Arqueològica Municipal de València), the Municipality of Riba-roja de Túria (III Jornades d’Arqueologia de Riba-roja), the Institut Català d’Arqueologia Clàssica (ICAC), and the Equip de Recerca Arqueològica i Arqueomètrica de la Universitat de Barcelona (ERAAUB), in collaboration with the Museu d’Arqueologia (MARQ) of Alacant, the Museu de Prehistòria of València, and the Universitat de Teologia of València.
