ICCROM has a long history of developing and implementing research and training on conserving and managing urban and built heritage. From 1960 to 1988, the International Architectural Conservation Course (ARC) equipped professionals from various disciplines with the knowledge and tools to develop a mutual understanding of architectural conservation. Recognizing the evolving challenges in built heritage conservation, ICCROM launched the Integrated Territorial and Urban Conservation Programme (ITUC) in 1995. The programme aimed to integrate urban conservation with urban and territorial planning systems, focusing on landscapes or larger territories and recognizing the dynamic relationship between people and heritage. Building on ARC and ITUC courses, ICCROM developed a new course, Conservation of Built Heritage (CBH), which combined theoretical and practical capacity building for professionals from a wide range of disciplines.
Additionally, ICCROM has also collaborated with partners to develop courses linked with built heritage, such as archaeological heritage, mural paintings, stone and wood conservation.
The Sustainability and Built Heritage programme focuses on several priority areas that aim to address conservation challenges in the light of current global challenges such as disasters, climate change, conflicts and ill-conceived tourism and development. It also strives towards designing, testing and implementing tools and methodologies based on cutting-edge digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence for documentation, assessing damages and risks, long-term monitoring as well as developing sustainable post-crisis recovery, conservation and management practices for built and urban heritage. It also aims to develop new initiatives aimed at conservation of modern materials such as concrete.
This internship offers the opportunity to work closely with a dynamic team engaged in projects addressing research and capacity development for built heritage conservation, post-crisis recovery and urban heritage management for sustainable development. The selected candidate will gain insights into international heritage protection initiatives, learn project management techniques, and develop professional skills in a multicultural environment.
