美国盖蒂保护研究所敦煌保护项目
美国盖蒂保护研究所是盖蒂基金会的组成部分，成立于1985年。中国敦煌研究院自1989年与美国盖蒂保护研究所开始合作，至今已有30多年，双方长期展开研究项目合作，尤其是在莫高窟第85窟壁画保护项目长达7年的合作时间里，从壁画的价值评估到修复材料的准备，再到成功修复，解决了以往壁画修复中存在的诸多难题。作为该机构敦煌项目的文物保护专家，内维尔·阿格纽（Neville Agnew）获得了中国政府友谊奖和国际科学技术合作奖。
盖蒂保护研究所在文物保护领域多方面都拥有先进的理念和丰富的经验，中美双方在项目合作中找到更多的共鸣，并从中改善壁画修复技术、修复程序及管理理念，通过项目合作、创新方法和模式保护策略，总结出一整套既符合国际惯例又适合中国国情的先进壁画保护理念和遗址管理方法。
Getty Conservation Institute: Dunhuang Preservation Project
The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) is part of the Getty Foundation, established in 1985. The Dunhuang Academy has collaborated with the Getty Conservation Institute for nearly 30 years since 1989. The two parties have engaged in long-term research project cooperation, particularly in the preservation of the murals in Cave 85 of the Mogao Caves, which lasted seven years. This collaboration addressed many challenges previously encountered in mural restoration, ranging from value assessment of the murals to the preparation of restoration materials and successful restoration efforts. Neville Agnew, a conservation expert on the Dunhuang project, received the Chinese government's Friendship Award and the International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Award for his contributions.
The GCI boasts advanced concepts and extensive experience in the field of cultural heritage conservation. Through project collaboration, China and the United States found great resonance in improving mural restoration techniques, restoration processes, and management philosophies. Working together on projects and employing innovative methods and model protection strategies, participants have summarized a comprehensive set of advanced mural protection concepts and site management methods that align with international practices while being suitable for China's specific conditions.
