Dear colleagues,

we are delighted to invite you to participate on the XXIII.CIPA Symposium, which will be held in September 2011 in Prague.

 

CIPA - The International Committee for Documentation of Cultural Heritage (http://cipa.icomos.org/) is one of the oldest international committees of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) and it was established in collaboration with ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing). Its main purpose is the improvement of all methods for surveying of cultural monuments and sites, specially by synergy effects gained by the combination of methods under special consideration of photogrammetry with all its aspects, as an important contribution to recording and perceptual monitoring of cultural heritage, to preservation and restoration of any valuable architectural or other cultural monument, object or site, as a support to architectural, archaeological and other art-historical research.
