CSIC High Specialization Course on Cultural Heritage Intervention Models

From the Consolider-TCP programme we are launching the second
edition of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) High Specialization
course "Cultural Heritage Intervention Models: research, protection,
conservation and valorization".

The main objective of the course is to provide specific knowledge
and specialized tools to students. These are based on top-level
science and technology focused on seeking answers and innovative
solutions to the challenges cultural heritage faces; therefore
keeping in sight the goal to contribute to its sustainability and
valorization. The goal is to strengthen and highlight the link
between the interdisciplinary research, the professional practice
and the social visibility of research through training,
dissemination and knowledge transfer. To address these issues, the
course is divided into 8 modules, which refer to all areas of
heritage intervention, coordinated by specialists from CSD-TCP. Of
these 8 modules, 3 are of compulsory attendance because they address
core issues: current challenges to cultural heritage; diagnosis,
prediction of damage and action protocols and new trends in research
and conservation.The other 5 modules are more specialized: Landscape
Archaeology, urban built Heritage, movable goods, new ICTs applied
to Heritage and how to develop projects and economic reports.

The course is held in Spanish and the pre-registration is still
open.
