Ingval Maxwell<br />
Director of TCRE<br />
ational, international and outreach projects have remained integral to the development of<br />
the Technical Conservation, Research and Education Group throughout <strong>2007</strong>-08. This has<br />
enabled staff to develop their individual areas of expertise through research studies, case<br />
work, and delivery of expertly managed projects and guidance across various sectors of<br />
the construction industry.<br />
Following on from the Director’s chairmanship of the European Science Foundation’s<br />
COST Action C17 on Fire Loss to <strong>Historic</strong> Buildings, TCRE launched a three-volume Final<br />
<strong>Report</strong> at an International Heritage Seminar in Italy during September <strong>2007</strong>. A four volume<br />
set of Conference Proceedings, launched in August <strong>2008</strong>, will complete the research.<br />
Findings and recommendations on prevention of fire, and its effects, on the historic built<br />
environment have already achieved an international impact, with follow up conferences in<br />
Lodz, Poland; Sollentuna, Sweden; Paris, France and Genova, Italy.<br />
