Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes
Blended intensive programmes allow students, academic, and administrative staff of higher education institutions to participate in an educational programme (curriculum) and activities with physical and virtual components. Students who are unable to participate in long-term physical study or traineeship mobility due to their academic field of study or lack of opportunities for participation can participate in short-term physical mobility with a compulsory virtual component.

The summer school aims to apply digital skills to promote narratives for valorising Architectural Heritage, Digital Technologies will be applied for merging documentation in architecture with people-based perspectives of cultural memory, leading to genuine and untold narratives. The avaliability of Heritage digital data is increasing through 3D datasets and Web Respositories. Also, tools for the generation/elaboration of visiul data with Artificial Intelligence will be applied on Digital Heritage, elobrating information from cultural memory to increase awarness on the challenges for conservation and social identity through Built Heritage. Within thşs perspective, the potential of AI on Architectural Heritage will be presented and explored in didactic applications.
- In-depth knowledge of practices related to Digital Heritage and Virtual assests on Architectural and Cultural Heritage
- Sharing of sustainability, democratisation and accessibility through digital data on international Heritage
