Following the conference, the PHC SCHOOL “The conservation of industrial design” – dedicated to students and young researchers – will touch the issues related to the preservation of industrially manufactured products, largely produced thanks to plastic materials, which represent the most recent experience of human society.

The Plastics Heritage Congress aims to create shared strategies in order to preserve this important historical and artistic heritage and provide food for thought to the new generation of conservators.
