Key Summary
About: The Summer School Diagnosis in Heritage Science is a multidisciplinary on-campus programme at the University of Pisa Department of Chemistry for postgraduates, including PhD candidates. It runs for one week and covers materials characterization, condition assessment, deterioration evaluation, and conservation products. It follows a yearly theme. The course accepts minimum 10 and maximum 30 students and runs at Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale Via Moruzzi 13 Pisa.
Career Outcomes: You’ll gain diagnostic, analytical skills for roles such as conservation scientist, heritage conservation specialist, analytical chemist, and museum curator; employers include museums, conservation labs, research centres and heritage agencies.
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 activated with at least 10 students. The maximum number of participants is set to 30 students.
The Summer School will be held on campus, in Pisa, at Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale, Via Moruzzi, 13.
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.
