DESCARGAR PROGRAMA

Con este curso el IUCA se une a las actividades que a lo largo de 2015 se han realizado en conmemoración del Año Internacional de la Luz y las Tecnologías basadas en Luz, contribuyendo de este modo a uno de los objetivos marcados en su proclamación como año internacional: “Dar a conocer la profunda relación que existe entre la luz, el arte y la cultura, así como fortalecer el papel de las tecnologías ópticas en la preservación del patrimonio cultural”.

Los principales temas que se abordarán son:

- Nuevos desarrollos en fluorescencia de rayos X e imágenes de rayos X

- Radiación Sincrotrón en Arte y Arqueología

- Espectroscopía FTIR y Raman

- El color y la espectrometría

- Técnicas de imagen del patrimonio cultural

El curso será impartido en inglés por profesionales de prestigio internacional procedentes de universidades y centros de investigación españoles y europeos.

Perfil de los asistentes:
Profesionales, investigadores y estudiantes de las áreas de de química, geología, paleontología, física, arqueología, conservación etc.

Lugar de celebración:

Salón de Actos de la Biblioteca María Moliner. Campus San Francisco.

Call for 16 PhD-Fellowships and 4 Post-Doc Positionsin the area of Digital Cultural Heritage

Convocatoria final de plazas pre y postdoctorales del proyecto ITN-DCH:

Call for 16 PhD-Fellowships and 4 Post-Doc Positionsin the area of Digital Cultural Heritage

All the calls available under www.itn-dch.eu

The “Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage: Projecting our Past to the Future” with acronym ITN-DCH (www.itn-dch.eu), is the first and one of the largest Marie Curie fellowship projects in the area of the e-documentation / e-preservation and Cultural Heritage (CH) protection funded by the European Union under the FP7 PEOPLE research framework (http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/ ). The Project started on the 1st of October 2013 and it is a consortium comprising of 14 full partners and 9 associate members covering the entire spectrum of European CH actors, ranging from academia, research institutions, industry, museums, archives and libraries. The project aims to train 20 fellows (16 Early Stage Researchers and 4 Experienced Researchers – 500 person months) in the area of CH digital documentation, preservation and protection in order to create for them a strong academic profile and market oriented skills which will significantly contribute to their career prospects. The consortium and the fellows training programme will be supported by a prestigious advisory board.

ITN-DCH aims -for the first time worldwide- to analyze, design, research, develop and validate an innovative multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial research training framework that covers the entire lifecycle of digital CH research for a cost– effective preservation, documentation, protection and presentation of cultural heritage. CH is an integral element of Europe and vital for the creation of a common European identity and one of the greatest assets for steering Europe’s social, economic development and job creation. However, the current research training activities in CH are fragmented and mostly design to be of a single discipline, failing to cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH targets all aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images, drawings, manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artefacts, archaeological sites, monuments) to intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore, theatrical performances) and their inter-relationships. The project aims to boost the added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments (protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films, music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e-services, (ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv) interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and  archiving.

The ITN-DCH project is seeking highly motivated and valuable researchers for PhD positions in the entire field of Digital Heritage, such as: Data Acquisition (Photogrammetry, Terrestrial laser scanning, GIS) and Computer Vision data processing, 3D reconstruction and modeling, symbolic, semantic and ontology representation, metadata, mixed and augmented reality technologies, CH e-services. All the fellows are supposed to travel between the project partners and attend a series of complementary training courses, scientific workshops and summer schools.

The call for fellows is available on the ITN-DCH website: www.itn-dch.eu
