The Department of History and Culture of the University of Bologna (Italy), under the scientific responsibility of Professor Antonella Coralini and with the collaboration of the Civic Museums of Modena and Emilia Romagna, organizes for the second consecutive year, the Summer School on “Digital Collection Curator for Archaeology“. The initiative is part of the “DIGITARCH: Digital Collection Curator for Archaeology” project and is organized in Bologna.

In particular, the Summer School has a total duration of ninety (90) hours, takes place from 4^th to 22^nd September 2023 and includes lectures, seminars and practical activities. The educational programme provides a high-level and unique international training, aiming at putting into practice the digital and technological competences of students and professionals working in the field of cultural heritage, focusing particularly on the archaeological sector, in line with the professional profile of the Digital Collection Curator.

The Summer School is implemented on-site, in English and provides six (6) University credits (CFU). Its aim is to train qualified/expert professionals in the field of digital humanities, in order to be able to manage all phases of the processes of creating and using digital collections of archaeological interest, from data collection in the field to their use in museums.
