Digital Cultural Heritage
This multi-disciplinary program will be offered by The Cyprus Institutes' Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC). It will promote excellence and educate students in the integration between technological, computer and social sciences and humanities, keeping in mind that "Heritage", at its most broad definition, deals with anything individuals in a given society decide it is important for them to preserve and transmit to further generation.
It will prepare students to deal with significant research problems in the use of digital technologies and Information Society Technologies (IST) for research of Cultural Heritage (CH) and establish the necessary body of knowledge in this emerging research field.
This doctoral program will be the first one that would reflect on the process of transforming the gathered data into information and its further metamorphosis into knowledge appropriate for Cultural Heritage.
The program will provide the necessary educational setting where excellence in education and research are fostered through interdisciplinary collaboration on regional problems of global significance.
