Abstract
The EU FP7 project MEMORI (“Measurement, Effect Assessment and Mitigation of Pollutant Impact on Movable Cultural Assets. Innovative Research for Market Transfer”- MEMORI, Grant Agreement No. 265132) works to supply the conservation market with a new innovative measurement technology for indoor assessment of air quality in cultural heritage buildings. A marketing strategy and business plan will be developed for the MEMORI technology to reach the users and the project will improve the understanding of the degradation of organic materials caused by exposure to organic acids. MEMORI will also undertake research to improve measures for mitigation of degradation caused by organic acids inside enclosures. Results from the project will be integrated into present best practice in preventive conservation strategy. An integral part of MEMORI is the end user group that follows and help to direct the work.
