Summer School

1st International 2024 Summer School – 1st Announcement

In situ techniques in preservation of built heritage, 2nd – 4th July 2024, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Experience science, heritage, and a fun get-together all in three days.

Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute offers multidisciplinary summer school, covering multiple-scale non-invasive techniques for assessment and in situ characterization of heritage. A wide range of international experts dealing with sensitive heritage material will provide various cutting-edge lectures for future-led approaches in heritage science.

The 1st International 2024 Summer School will be held in person in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with no admission fee. Master’s degree students, doctoral students, and young doctors, as well as interested established experts are invited. The school will be based on lectures, experimental presentations, guided tour with a presentation of techniques, and social events.

The deadline for registration is June 3rd, 2024.

Come, deepen your knowledge, expand your international networks, and make this summer an unforgettable experience in Slovenia with a taste of heritage.

More information can be found in the sHERezad catalogue. Registration: link. No registration fee is required.

Organizing committee: Sabina Dolenec, Andreja Pondelak, Ana Brunčič, Katarina Šter, and Maruša Mrak

11:00-12:00   Lunch break
13:00-16:00   Guided tour: Frescoes of Church of the Annunciation in Crngrob

The Church of the Annunciation in Crngrob is one of the most complex monuments in Slovenia. The original church dedicated to the Mother of God stood on the site of today’s northern nave at least as early as the 13th century. At that time, there were only a few inhabitants in Sorško polje, from which we could conclude that the original church was already built as a pilgrimage church. In 1273, the construction of the Romanesque church began and the oldest preserved parts of the building date from this period.

As a part of a guided tour, NDT techniques will be demonstrated on site. ClydeHSI will demonstrate hyperspectral imaging on selected wall paintings. Other NDT methods that have been used over the years at ZAG to determine the consolidation effectiveness and determine the condition of wall paintings will also be presented (e. g. USV, colour difference monitoring, DRMS method).

Horizontalna raziskovalna skupina ZAG sHERezad: Trajnostna grajena dediščina

Doc. dr. Sabina Dolenec, kons.-rest.

Slovenija razpolaga z bogato in raznoliko dediščino, ki je v svojem jedru zelo povezana z grajenim okoljem vasi, trgov in mest, znotraj njih pa s posameznimi obstoječimi objekti. Sodobni trendi, kot je Novi Evropski Bauhaus (NEB) in tudi zahteve Zelenega dogovora odpirajo možnosti in podpirajo zmožnosti, de se prepoznavne dediščinske vrednote prenesejo tudi v gradnjo novih objektov.

Pri razumevanju in ohranjanju dediščine ter njeni trajnostni rabi so zato ključnega pomena njeno evidentiranje, dokumentiranje, preučevanje, vključevanje v sodobno življenje, omogočanje dostopnosti, izobraževanje in popularizacija.
