European Doctorate in ARchaeological and Cultural Heritage MATerials science (ED-ARCHMAT)
Overview
​
The European Joint Doctorate in Archaeological and Cultural Heritage MATerials Science (ED-ARCHMAT) is an EU-funded Marie Skłodowska Curie Action Innovative Training Network (MSCA-ITN) under the HORIZON 2020 Program whose goal is to provide future leading professionals with the interdisciplinary and intersectoral knowledge, skills and competences needed to address the challenges faced in the analysis, valorization, conservation and fruition for future generations of Cultural Heritage.
A total of 13 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions (PhD studentships) are available for 36 months from October/November 2018 onwards within the European Joint Doctorate ED-ARCHMAT
​
Goal
The need for a common language between all members of the Cultural Heritage community is widely recognized.
The increasing development of more sophisticated diagnostic techniques and ICT tools is now providing long awaited answers to variety of Cultural Heritage Materials issues:
→ provenance and sources of ancient materials
→ production techniques
→ ancient commercial routes
→ authentication
→ conservation (durability, compatibility and effectiveness of restoration methods and products)
A knowledge gap urgently needs to be bridged.
​
Training
To form a new generation of Conservation Science professionals equipped with knowledge, skills and competences and skills [(as defined in European Qualification Framework (EQF)] spanning different sectors such as Physical and Chemical Science, Cultural Heritage, Conservation, Archaeology, Museology, Art History, Project Management, IT.
​
Opportunity
To provide an opportunity to young ESRs not only to continue their research careers at top ranked universities and well-established private enterprises but also to have the necessary knowledge, skills and competences tools required to start their own business in the Cultural Heritage sector.
