These proceedings result from the 2nd International Conference on Innovation in Art Research and Technology, Ghent, 2016, which aimed to create a bridge of communication between the many disciplinary sectors that contribute to the field of archaeometry. It brings together contributions on conservation and restoration of works of art from chemists, physicists, geologists, art historians, restorers and archaeologists.

The topics addressed are amongst others:

• New technological developments
  
• In vitro experimental set-ups and degradation mechanisms
  
• In situ experiments and mobile instrumentation
  
• Non-invasive and non-destructive analysis
  
• Imaging techniques
  
• Environmental issues on the preservation of art and archaeological objects
  

These contributions have previously been published in the journal Applied Physics A , in Volume 122, 2016 and Volume 123, 2017.
