It is customary for the research conducted in the IBeA research group in the UPV/EHU’s department of Analytical Chemistry to be approached from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Although the group’s research has until now focussed on historical monuments, now they have begun to study the origin and types of deterioration of a range of synthetic materials used in 20th-century buildings.
