XVIII Latin American Seminar of Analysis by X-ray Techniques (SARX 2026) and VIII Brazilian School of Archaeometry and Sciences Applied to Heritage (EBRARQ 2026)

XVIII SARX

The Latin American Seminar of Analysis by X-Ray Techniques (SARX) is an internationally recognized scientific meeting held in South American countries. It brings together leading researchers from around the world to foster the exchange of knowledge and advancements in research and technological developments involving X-ray techniques. Since its inception in 1997, SARX has been hosted in several countries across Latin America, consistently attracting participants from diverse regions worldwide.

The seminar is held biennially, and the upcoming edition will take place in 2026 in Brazil. SARX 2026 will be organized by postgraduate programs from the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC), the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), and the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). The event will be held in Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil.

VIII EBRARQ

The Escola Brasileira de Arqueometria e Ciências Aplicadas ao Patrimônio (EBRARQ) was first held in 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, at the Maracanã campus of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). It was inspired by the Scuola Estiva di Archeometria, an annual program held in the province of Lecce, Italy.

This event brings together leading national and international experts in widely used techniques applied to cultural heritage studies. Its main objective is to promote a forum for discussion among students and specialists from diverse backgrounds, focusing on a broad range of experimental techniques used for the study, restoration, and conservation of cultural heritage assets.

In 2026, EBRARQ will be held jointly with SARX at the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC), in Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil.
