Summer School Diagnosis in Heritage Science

The Summer School offers a one-week multidisciplinary program held at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pisa.It is designed to train graduate students, particularly those pursuing a PhD degree, who have an interest in Heritage Science.The primary goal of the Summer School is to equip students from diverse educational backgrounds, both those with technical-scientific and humanistic degrees, with the specific skills required to initiate and develop projects focused on the proper diagnosis and conservative management of Cultural Heritage.The Summer School will provide lectures to impart knowledge on the characterization of organic materials, suitable techniques for their analysis, and the evaluation of their state of deterioration. Additionally, the curriculum will include a thorough examination of products and technologies used in conservation.

The primary objective of this program is to provide the students with a theoretical preparation, combining in-depth knowledge of materials and diagnostic techniques, and the ability to interpret issues and problems related to the characterization of the object in the context of multidisciplinary projects.
