Courses

Horn Centre also offers the highest level of further education. The idea being, that new techniques which originate from research activities are then implemented in the practical work of the conservator-restorers. To do so an educational structure is needed. This is offered at Horn.

At the moment the courses being offered are intended to further the expertise of colleagues.
Later there will be courses aimed mainly at conveying research results. Courses offered will be at the highest level, and will not be repeated. The courses are all intended for further professional development.
