The symposium “Non-Destructive Techniques for Cultural Heritage” was held in Buenos Aires on the 12th of October 2018, with special focus on the study and preservation of Cultural Heritage (CH). It was organized by Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna Representación en la República Argentina, the Latin American headquarters of the Italian University, the Italian Embassy in Buenos Aires and the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). It was a follow-up of the 14th International Symposium on Radiation Physics (ISRP-2018) held during the same week in Cordoba which hosted renowned scientist from all the world, many attending both meetings and contributing to this issue. The aim was to draw attention to a problem of great cultural interest and socio-economic significance and to start building a wide collaboration between Italian and Argentinian partners open to international scientists. The meeting was characterised by presentations and discussions about recent advances, research results and perspectives, as well as open problems and incoming activities where new technological developments are required. The increasing importance of non-invasive diagnostic techniques was highlighted, by putting into evidence how they allow for getting information about problems related to very different fields. Just to give an example among the many, one (Calderón et al. 2020) deals to reveal techniques used by the artists in order to have a preliminary basis for conservation/

restoration interventions, another is focused on tracking ancient people movements (Cattaneo et al. 2020). Presented works address various issues, presenting different diagnostic methodologies, some based on large scale facilities (Pronti et al. 2020), others exploiting mobile instrumentation (Domenici et al. 2020). The papers cover different historical periods on both continents which span from archaeological (Sario et al. 2020) up to modern era. The contributions are essentially concentrated on applied research and applications to CH. Most of the papers are based on detection of electromagnetic (E.M.) radiation and complementary techniques, including, but not limiting to, XRF/XRF-imaging (Kriznar et al. 2018), XRF (Dabagov et al. 2020), SEM (Bruni et al. 2020), γ-rays transmission (Cesareo et al. 2020). Given the importance of this field for the community, a session was also dedicated to the interpretation o
