DST-UNIFI supports Egyptian universities in an international collaboration European project

Since 2020, the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Studies of Florence has been participating in the Reframing Heritage Education in Egypt (Re-HeEd) project, funded by the ERASMUS+ program of the European Union (610234-EPP-1-2019-1-EG-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP). Its main objective is to develop heritage education in Egypt by bringing our expertise in the field of cultural heritage prevention against geohazards to support partner Egyptian universities (Helwan, Alexandria, Ain Shams, Damanhour) as well as the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt in the training of a new generation of qualified Egyptian specialists in heritage education, a discipline of extreme importance in Egypt. It also aims to introduce new technologies in the documentation, preservation, presentation and interpretation of Egyptian heritage collections.

Taking part in the project are also the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the Democritus University of Thrace. For the University of Florence the project is currently followed by Emanuele Intrieri, William Frodella, Sandro Moretti and Veronica Tofani and previously also by Stefano Morelli and Federico Di Traglia.
