“Following the successful foundations laid by the Pottery and Metal workshops, I moderated the third national summit in Bodrum, strictly focusing on the Conservation and Archaeometric Investigation of Historical Glass. Organized by the Directorate of Istanbul Central Laboratory and hosted by the prestigious Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA), this workshop gathered over seventy top-tier experts, international pioneers like Frederick van Doorninck, and founding laboratory directors.

Serving as the Scientific Moderator, my goal was to steer the professional dialogue toward a critical issue: the gap between standard physical intervention and deep material analysis. This publication captures the core resolutions of the summit—proposing strict terminological standardization, challenging bureaucratic pressures that force practitioners into unnecessary aesthetic reconstructions, and setting absolute limits on chemical interventions to protect the structural integrity of ancient glass.
