Training resources for the use of satellite data for the preservation of Europe’s cultural heritage are rare. The SATCULT team is collecting here training offers in order to provide some insight on the existing training opportunities.
Higher Education training
The ERASMUS+-Projekt MINERVA (“MappINg Cultural Heritage. Geosciences VAlue in Higher Education“, 2020 – 2022) has developed tools for teaching, learning and assessing cultural heritage in the use of geotechnologies in Higher Education. MINERVA was coordinated by the University of Florence – LabGeo. The main goal of the MINERVA project was to support European teachers and students of cultural heritage (CH) in the use of geotechnologies in creative, collaborative and effective ways. Tools were specifically designed and implemented to improve and facilitate the learning of geosciences applied to cultural heritage. Via a Moodle platform, there are seven courses available. Further information is available by the Greek project partner: info(at)minerva-erasmus.com .
Vocational Training
The SPACE4GEO project is a Large-scale Skills Partnership for the downstream segment of space economy dedicated to data, services and applications promoted under the EC initiative Pact for Skills. SPACE4GEO’s objective is to promote the up-skilling and re-skilling of the workforce, while also attracting new talent to the downstream space and geoinformation sector. On their website, several running and completed European projects and initiatives are presented which focus on skills development. Though none of them is linked to the cultural heritage sector, the presented activities reflect an emerging training market linked to the use of EOarth observation and satellite data.
