Preface
The 5th International Conference LACONA V (Lasers in the Conservation
of Artworks) was held in Osnabru¨ck (Germany) in September 2003.
LACONA’s aim is to provide an opportunity for scientists from universi-
tiesandresearchlaboratoriestomeetandespeciallyforrestorers,arthistori-
ansandlasermanufacturerstopresentanddiscussnewresultsconcerningthe
applicationoflasertechnologyintherestorationofartworks.Thisconference
alsooffersopportunitiestoinitiatecooperativeprojectsbetweenprofessionaly
from the various fields of science and its application.
In1995thisideawasrealizedforthefirsttimebyProfessorCostasFotakis
from Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas Institute (FO.R.T.H.)
inCrete,Greece,where100internationalattendeestookpartinLACONAI.
Since then the field of “Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks” has gained
considerably in importance. As a consequence a large number of nationally
(e.g. DBU, Germany) and internationally funded (e.g. EU) research projects
have been carried out. Furthermore international working groups were es-
tablished (e.g. COST G7). There has also been a substantial increase in
publications concerning laser application in restoration since LACONA I.
It has turned out that a close cooperation between scientists and restorers
seems to be of utmost importance for the future of laser applications in art-
workrestoration.BasedonthesuccessofLACONAI,otherLACONAswere
organized: 1997 in Liverpool, 1999 in Florence and 2001 in Paris.
LACONA V took place at the modern “Center for Environment Com-
munication (ZUK) of the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU)”
fromSeptember15–18,2003.Thereweremorethan80presentations(50oral,
30 posters) given by attendees coming from all over the world. While there
wasadistinctdecreaseinpresentationscomparedtopreviousLACONAsfor
specific topics (e.g. laser cleaning of stone) the number of contributions in
other fields such as analyses and diagnostics strongly increased. This is also
true for online-monitoring during laser cleaning.
I am grateful to the members of the Scientific Committee as well as to
theEditorialCommitteefortheiradviceandsupportinreviewingallpapers.
I also acknowledge the sponsorship by the “German Federal Environment
Foundation (DBU)” and the administrative supportof the“Center for Envi-
ronment Communication (ZUK)”.
VI Preface
I would like to give my thanks toDr.John F.Asmus,the pioneer in laser
cleaning,andtoProfessorCostasFotakis,founderofLACONA,forthemany
stimulating discussions and their assistance to LACONA V.
