敦煌研究院文物保护团队
2024年1月“国家工程师奖”表彰大会上，敦煌研究院文物保护团队荣获“国家卓越工程师团队”称号。从1944年国立敦煌艺术研究所成立保护研究组，开展敦煌石窟积沙清理、壁画修复、崖体加固等工作，再到2014年设立敦煌石窟监测中心，敦煌研究院在保护实践中逐渐形成了一支集产、学、研、用一体化的近200名技术人员的高质量保护技术团队。
这支团队几代人不忘初心，接续奋斗，在大漠深处、摩崖之间显身手，攻克古代壁画保护、土遗址与石窟寺保护、丝路遗产监测预警与预防性保护、文物出土现场保护、岩土质文物保护等方面的多项技术难题。他们让文化遗产华光永续，是技术的革新突破，也是与自然的较量、与时间的对抗。敦煌研究院文物保护团队不断突破的技术理念被推广至全国，并沿着“一带一路”惠及更多国家的文化遗产保护工作。
Academy's Team for Relics Protection and Utilization
The relics protection team from the Dunhuang Academy was granted the title of "National Outstanding Engineering Team" at the commendation ceremony of the National Engineer Award in January 2024.
The Dunhuang Academy has gradually assembled a high- quality protection technology team of nearly 200 technical personnel. They integrate production, learning, research, and application. In 1944, the National Dunhuang Art Research Institute established a protection and research team for clearing sand, restoring murals, and reinforcing cliff bodies in the Dunhuang caves. In 2014, the team opened the Dunhuang Caves Monitoring Center to enhance its protection efforts.
This team, spanning several generations, remains true to its original mission and continues to strive in the depths of the desert and between the cliffs. They tackle various technical challenges hindering the protection of ancient murals and the safeguarding of earthen sites and cave temples by monitoring and implementing preventive protection of Silk Road heritage, relics at excavation sites, and rock and soil artifacts. While ensuring the everlasting brilliance of cultural heritage, they work extremely hard to make breakthroughs in technological innovation and fight against nature as well as time. The technological concepts continuously developed by the team have been promoted nationwide and benefited the cultural heritage protection efforts of other countries along the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) route.
