Diagnosis in Heritage Science: 7.

About

The Summer School offers a multidisciplinary program of studies over the course of one week.

Hosted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pisa, it is designed for postgraduate students (Master’s degree holders), particularly PhD candidates, who have an interest in Heritage Science.

The aim of the Summer School is to equip students from diverse educational backgrounds—both in technical-scientific and humanistic disciplines—with the specialized skills needed to initiate and develop projects focused on the accurate diagnosis and sustainable conservation of Cultural Heritage.

The program features lectures that cover the characterization of materials, techniques for assessing their condition, and methods for evaluating their state of deterioration. Special emphasis will be placed on the study of products and technologies used in conservation efforts. Each year, the Summer School will focus on a different theme within the field of Heritage Science.

The Summer School will be held on campus, in Pisa, at Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale, Via Moruzzi, 13.
