The Document of Pavia is the result of a European effort to develop standards for the education and training of conservators/restorers. It encourages the European Union and specialists in the field to promote the field of conservation-restoration, recommends interdisciplinary exchange with other disciplines, and the definition of professional competencies of the conservator-restorer for Europe. In terms of the training conservators-restorers receive, the document recommends:
- a balancing of theoretical and practical knowledge,
- the teaching of communication strategies,
- the establishment of cooperative exchange programs among training institutions, and
- the promotion of research in conservation-restoration.
Publication of a multilingual glossary of conceptual definitions
is recommended. The Document also encourages the establishment of
a regulatory framework to ensure the quality of conservation-restoration
interventions; this should include qualifications of team members
and development of specifications for projects. The establishment
of the European Network for Conservation/Restoration Education (ENCoRE)
furthers this effort.
