The exchange program on Digital Tools for Heritage Management is a one-semester European Credit (ECTS) bearing program that integrates the great disciplines of heritage management and geomatics. The program is organized by a team of internationally recognized experts and is mainly offered online which allows participants from all over the world to participate. Skills in the acquisition, processing, and publication of spatial data are combined with knowledge in heritage management through hands-on course material, which is applied during fieldwork in Greece.
Digital tools for heritage management is a specialized course on spatial data (GIS), laser scanning, 3D modeling, heritage management, and community management. This 30 ECTS-credit (50% of a full year) exchange program is being offered for the first time during the autumn semester of the academic year 2023-2024 (starting in October).
