Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
- To equip students with the knowledge on how to draw up and present project proposals at National and International levels in the sector of conservation and valorisation of cultural heritage and archaeological assets, based on the use of innovative design and communication tools and technologies for dissemination of Cultural Heritage, identifying resources and possible areas of further development
- to equip students with the knowledge of the advanced innovative physico-chemical techniques and conservation protocols available to characterize and preserve archaeological and cultural heritage assets
- to equip students with the knowledge of the advanced innovative physico-chemical techniques and conservation protocols available to characterize and preserve archaeological and cultural heritage assets
Contents
Module 1 : Management and Valorisation of CH and Archaeological assets
- Management tools needed for planning project proposals in the sector of
conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage and archaeological assets,
based on the use of innovative design and communication tools and technologies
Module 2: Advanced Technologies for the Characterization and Conservation of CH and Archaeological assets
- Theoretical/Practical knowledge on the advanced Physico-Chemical techniques and methodologies (including Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy with microanalysis (OM, SEM+EDS); X-ray Diffraction (XRD); X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF); Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR); micro-Raman Spectroscopy; Laser Ablation ICP-MS Spectroscopy) and of Conservation/Restoration protocols for the study, characterisation and conservation of Archaeological and Cultural Heritage assets/objects.
2 field trips to archaeological/CH sites

Teaching Methods
Seminars (both virtual and in presence) in the topics identified in the Modules of the BIP, that is:
M1. Management and Valorisation of CH and Archaeological assets
M2 Advanced Technologies for the Characterization and Conservation of CH and Archaeological assets
2 Field work excursions in presence.
The teaching will be in blended mode with virtual part where students will follow seminars and presentations by teachers from the three HEIs associated in the BIP both online and in presence at Uè.

Assessment
Evaluation methods: written assignments with presentation in to teachers and students colleagues by students on scientific articles and topics indicated by teachers from the three HEIs associated in the BIP including the conservation case studies studied in the 2 field trip(s) associated with the BIP.
The final mark will be calculated as the weighted average of two parts according to the following :
Written Essay = 40%
Oral Presentation = 60%
