On September 4, 2024, in Vilnius, Lithuania, the European Green Capital 2025, MOXY hosted a Symposium at the National Gallery of Art of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art. Researchers, expert conservators, innovators, and policy-makers from Horizon Europe projects GoGreen, GreenArt, and MOXY, united in the Green Cultural Heritage (CH) Cluster, will gather to discuss green, sustainable, and contactless approaches to cleaning sensitive works of art and other cultural heritage in the times of climate change. This was a unique one-day opportunity to delve into the latest advancements in our field, as the Green CH Cluster includes researchers from 53 organizations of excellence - universities, research organizations, museums, conservation centers, and non-governmental organizations representing extraordinary expertise in CH science, conservation, physics, chemistry, sustainability science, and related fields.
