This full-day event was a dedicated interdisciplinary forum for scholarly exchange, critical discussion, and professional development within the field of archaeometry and the sciences applied to cultural heritage. These proceedings are designed to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of current doctoral research trends. This volume will serve as a reference for researchers, students, conservators, and museums interested in the contemporary status and future directions of Heritage Science. The included research covers a wide range of topics, showing the new and collaborative approach of current PhD projects in Italy.\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRosina Celeste Ponterio is a Senior Researcher at CNR-IPCF. She earned her master’s degree in physics from the University of Messina and completed her Ph.D. in 2000 at the Laser Spectroscopy Laboratory of its Physics Department. Since 2001, she has held a permanent research position at CNR’s Institute for Chemical-Physical Processes. Her work focuses on vibrational spectroscopy, particularly Raman techniques (SERS, Raman, FT-Raman), and laser-based spectroscopy applied to materials science and the development of new materials. She is also active in neutron-based techniques (diffraction, tomography, imaging) and instrumentation development, conducting experiments at European facilities such as ISIS (UK). Since 2006, she has been Principal Investigator for numerous neutron experiments at STFC-ISIS and contributed to designing and implementing an energy-resolved neutron tomographic chamber installed on the IMAT beamline at RAL (UK) within the PANAREA project.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAnna Galli is Associate Professor of Applied Physics for Life Sciences, Environment and Cultural Heritage at the Department of Materials Science, University of Milano-Bicocca, where she leads the LAMBDA (Laboratory of Milano Bicocca University for Dating and Archaeometry). Her research focuses on archaeometry and heritage science, with particular expertise in luminescence dating (TL, OSL and RHX), radiocarbon dating, and the development of non-invasive analytical protocols for the characterization and authentication of cultural heritage materials. She has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and has coordinated or participated in numerous national and international research projects, including large-scale collaborations on mortar dating, cultural heritage diagnostics, and advanced synchrotron-based investigations. Her work combines spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and dating techniques to study archaeological and historical materials. Since 2022, she has served as Scientific Director of the Interdepartmental Research Centre for Artistic and Cultural Heritage (BIPAC) at the University of Milano-Bicocca, and since 2026 she has been President of the Italian Association of Archaeometry (AIAr). \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGiulia Festa is a Senior Researcher at the Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) in Rome, Italy, where she serves as Head of the Physics for Cultural Heritage Laboratory. She earned her degree in Physics from Sapienza University of Rome and a PhD in Physics from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Qualified as Full Professor in Applied Physics, her research focuses on neutron science, spectroscopy, diffraction, imaging, archaeometry, and machine learning applied to the study of archaeological and historical materials. Since 2008, she has served as Principal Investigator for neutron-based experiments at major international research facilities, leading multidisciplinary research teams and pioneering non-invasive approaches to cultural heritage investigation.
