professionals (such as technical experts, archaeologists, conservator, geologists, engineers, computer scientists) working in
different topics related to the UCHs to respond and find solutions to the complex issues still existing in the field of UCH. The
overall aim is the exchange of skills and expertise, the training activities for the implementation, improvement and
assessment of innovative materials, techniques, tools and methodologies to develop solutions and marketable products for
the conservation, restoration and management of the UCH (objects, artefacts, structures, remains etc.). To achieve its
overall aim, TECTONIC project will undertake innovation and development activities driven by the following objectives:
Study, documentation and 3D reconstruction of the selected pilot sites; Decision support tool for UCH risk assessment i
