The Superior Institute for Conservation and Restoration (ISCR) (Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione e il Restauro), was founded in 1939 within the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, to ensure that restoration activities would be carried out on a scientific basis and to unify the methods applied to works of art and archaeological finds. In 2007 the ICR became ISCR, the Superior Institutes for Conservation and Restoration and it is also the site of the Superior Training School for Restoration. Primary activities include carrying out research on the environmental, natural and accidental factors that deteriorate the underwater Heritage, and on the actions required to prevent and reduce the effects of such damage, and setting guidelines for conservation and restoration activities.
