The global AXA ART Group supports research in conservation through the framework of the AXA ART Research Grant. This grant is awarded for scientific studies that promise long-term contributions to preserving cultural heritage. The award offers support for projects that seek to develop and disseminate relevant conservation techniques and the underlying science. The grant is awarded globally to projects which pursue the goal of extending the life span of art objects for future generations.

AXA ART generates awareness and debate by encouraging the entire art community to learn from the results of these conservation projects.
