Studies on the interdisciplinary field of Cultural Heritage and Science/Technology offer the great potential of a modern and balanced educational syllabus. They also produce an ideal platform for holistic approaches that are guaranteed by the creative mixing of up-to-date methodologies with archaeological science, archaeometry and cultural heritage technologies.
CultTech operates within the Peloponnese, an advanced natural and cultural environment that boasts a plethora of historical, archaeological sites and monuments. A key issue for CultTech is its orientation towards hands-on research, offering post-graduate research training and the possibility for carrying out a diploma dissertation closely related to, or within, ongoing research projects.
The programme is offered by the Department of History, Archaeology and Cultural Resources Management, and operates in collaboration with the National Center for Scientific Research Demokritos, the Navarino Environmental Observatory (through the National Observatory of Athens) and key lecturers from other academic institutions in Greece.
The programme takes place in Kalamata. It is offered in English and extends over 3 semesters (two semesters of taught courses and one for the implementation of the dissertation thesis).
Students from the fields of archaeology, cultural heritage management, conservation, materials science and engineering are welcome to apply.
