Within the last call 2021 of the Horizon Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - Post Doctoral Fellowship programme, a young researcher from the DICAr - Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Pavia has been awarded.
Dr. Raffaella De Marco, a former research fellow at DICAr and collaborator at the DAda-LAB laboratory of the University of Pavia, was financed within the results of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - Post-doctoral Global Fellowship 2021.
The selected project 'MOEBHIOS - Multi-attribute values' OntologiEs to improve Built Heritage InformatiOn assessment in cluStered territories' will start in autumn 2022 and will focus on the study of the minor architectural cultural heritage of Palestine, Middle East.
The programme represents one of the highest funding opportunities for young post-doctoral researchers in Europe and it will involve research activities at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, with exchanges at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), and at the University of Pavia. Dr. De Marco will focus on the study of the minor architectural heritage between Bethlehem and Hebron, and on the understanding of an advanced digital mapping protocol for the architectural, archaeological, social and economic parameterisation and valorisation of Palestinian sites according to European strategies for the protection and promotion of Cultural Heritage.
Dr. De Marco will be Principal Investigator of the research activities and university cooperation between the academies involved, supervised by Prof. Sandro Parrinello (University of Pavia, Italy), Professors Yara Saifi and Osama Hamdan (Al-Quds University, Palestine) and Prof. Izabella Parowicz (European University Viadrina, Germany).
The project funded for a total amount of € 277,535.04 will finance 2 years of the researcher's activity abroad to test interdisciplinary approaches for the enhancement of Cultural Heritage, combined with the digitisation and geo-mapping of sites, and 1 year of return to the University of Pavia for the reapplication of Information Modelling knowledge on Cultural Heritage in the field of land and cultural heritage engineering.
The objective of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - Post-doctoral Fellowship programme is to support researchers' careers and promote excellence in research.
The programme includes individual research grants, including research and mobility funds, which aim to support the research training and career development of PhD researchers in collaboration with supervisors and through international mobility.
For the 2021 call, more than 8,836 proposals were submitted by young international researchers from 46 countries, and only 1,156 projects across Europe were selected, with a funding rate of 13%.
