When? 21st-25th July
Where? University of Évora
This internship will allow students to join a research team and work with cutting-edge equipment to help answer questions raised by historians, art historians, conservators, and museologists.
The programme includes study visits to the Public Library of Évora and to several sites in Lisbon where some of the corpi santi under study are preserved, always accompanied by an art historical contextualisation. Students will also participate in a paleography session, exploring techniques for reading ancient handwriting, as well as several laboratory-based activities focused on analytical characterisation and 3D digitisation.
This internship is aimed at secondary school students (10th to 12th grade) and includes lunch. Accommodation will also be provided for students coming from outside Évora.
