Seminar Abstract
This project aims to develop a training of trainers which will focus on specialized subjects in the field of the conservation of the built heritage (or monuments and sites). It will contribute to upgrade conservation of the built heritage to an academic and professional specialisation within both archaeology (a branch of the humanities) and architecture/ construction. It is primarily designed to be interdisciplinary by bringing together staff and students who are usually separated, i.e. archaeologists and architects. In each university, core courses will be therefore taken jointly by students from scientific and literary streams. Trainers are coming from Lebanon, Iraq and Europe.
