MOLAB: A EUROPEAN MOBILE LABORATORY ENABLING ADVANCED STUDIES IN ARCHAEOMETRY

IPERION HS (Integrating Platforms for the European Research Infrastructure ON Heritage Science) project integrates distributed national facilities of recognized excellence in Heritage Science in order to foster trans-disciplinary activities aimed to the interpretation, preservation, documentation and management of Cultural Heritage. IPERION HS offers access through three platforms: ARCHLAB, FIXLAB and MOLAB (Mobile LABoratory), to a wide range of high-level scientific instruments, methodologies, expertise, data and tools distributed in 23 countries in Europe and in the Associated Countries for advancing knowledge and innovation in the field of Heritage Science. In this paper, the MOLAB platform of IPERION HS is presented; useful information regarding the access procedure for users will be also provided. Finally, the application of one of the portable and non-invasive techniques available in the MOLAB platform employed for the study of a Caravaggio painting will be briefly reported.
