Aims of the 2007 Course
The scientific community now widely agrees on the fact that human
activities are disturbing the fragile climatic equilibrium of our
planet. The character of Cultural Heritage is closely related to
the climate and the urban landscape and the built heritage have
been designed with the local climate in mind. The stability of Cultural
Heritage is, therefore, closely tied to its interactions with the
ground and the atmosphere.
The major aim of the 2007 Ravello Course is to ensure that young
European students are informed about these important problems and
will be able in the future to undertake rigorous ongoing scientific
monitoring of changes in conditions of Cultural Heritage.
This Course is organised within the frame of the Master “Sciences
et Génie de l’Environnement: Matériaux du Patrimoine
bâti et culturel dans l’Environnement”, Paris
VII and Paris XII Universities. On request, students may benefit
of 3 ECTS after agreement with their own University and producing
a written report on the topics of the Course.
The Course is addressed to young people with scientific background:
physicists, chemists, geologists, biologists, engineers, because
of the high scientific level of the background required to follow
the lectures. Teaching will be delivered in English without any
simultaneous translation.
