1st ARCHERS Workshop, 1 October 2021
Scope
The workshop aims to highlight how imaging applied from a wide range of diverse perspectives enables researchers and scholars to survey, monitor or even reveal structures and elements related to ancient life, archaeological and historical sites, monuments and objects of art.
The workshop is organized in the context of ARCHERS, a major project implemented by FORTH with the exclusive donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). Through ARCHERS, over 100 young doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers have been supported over the past four and a half years and have carried out cutting-edge research in the Institutes of FORTH across a broad range of interdisciplinary thematics including preservation of cultural heritage and tackling of societal challenges such as environment, clean energy and health.
