FOLLOW ONLINE THE ORGANIZATION OF THE TRAINING CAMP!

 

• The Training Camp is a training course divided into frontal teaching and practical exercises.
• The course aims to provide participants with the necessary tools to design a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach for the analysis of works of art, through some of the most innovative portable investigation techniques made available by the Researchers and Universities involved and to disseminate the results in the museum set-up.

 

TARGET AND PARTECIPANTS:

• The training camp is directed to students or  workers (workers must participate outside their working hours and without any other support, even indirect, from their employers).  The target is university students with at least 180 credits, graduates or freelancers working in the field of conservation and restoration working in the field of Cultural Heritage (restorers, conservators, museum directors, art historians,  conservators, architects, restoration directors, museum operators).
• During the Training Camp some of the most used technologies for in-situ characterization of cultural heritage materials will be discussed, focusing on their advantages, their limits and their costs, all aspects to be taken into consideration in order to plan a restoration or a conservation strategy.
• The skills acquired during the training camp will make the participants more competitive in the world of work, where transversal skills and updates on new technologies are increasingly required.
