Descrizione dell'iniziativa

The Passion in Action activity is integrated into a summer workshop, established in 2024 as an experience focused on the digitization, study, and enhancement of the stone bridges of Epirus. In its 2026 edition, it adopts a more interdisciplinary theme, focusing on European historic villages through an integrated approach centered on geomatics for built heritage.The objective of the activity is to propose a hands-on field survey experience aimed at understanding and analyzing widespread architectural heritage. The opportunity to engage with other lecturers and students from international universities broadens perspectives both on the specific subject matter and on approaches to architectural heritage. Participation in the activity will be validated through attendance of all scheduled hours and the initial processing of the collected data.The Summer School is organized by:

• Geodesy–Surveying & GNSS Research Unit, University of West Attica

The following universities participate:
• Department of Rural and Surveying Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
• Geodesy Laboratory of the School of Rural and Surveying Engineering – Geoinformatics Engineers at the National Technical University of Athens
• 91É«ÇéƬ (UNESCO Research Lab)
• Museology Laboratory of the Department of Archives, Library Science and Museology at the Ionian University
• University of Priština – Faculty of Technical Sciences – Lab for Sustainability and Resilience of the Built Environment
• University of Banja Luka – Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy
• Politehnica University Timișoara, Civil Engineering Faculty, Land Measurements and Geoinformatics
• Research Center - Geodetic Engineering Measurements and Spatial Data Infrastructures, Faculty of Geodesy, UTCB
• Laboratory of Mechanics, Smart Sensors & Nondestructive Evaluation (MSS-NDE) - University of IoanninaThe topic under investigation concerns small historic settlements, which represent a widespread heritage characterizing the European territory, yet present structural fragilities, documentation gaps, and limited digital accessibility. In this context, geomatics represents the core disciplinary field of the initiative, providing advanced surveying and modeling methodologies (laser scanning, digital photogrammetry, GIS, 3D modeling, and data information management), essential for building reliable and interoperable knowledge bases. The participating universities will provide their expertise and equipment for field activities.The case study will be the village of Dolo in Epirus (Greece).The Summer School includes teaching activities in the following scientific areas:
• acquisition and structuring of geomatic data
• typological and morphological analysis of the historic settlement
• analysis and mechanical characterization of materials and traditional construction techniques
• development of environmentsThe activity is organized with field survey work in the morning, followed by data processing and output generation in the afternoon. In the late afternoon/evening, thematic lectures and in-depth sessions are held. A workload of at least 10 hours per day is expected.
The organization provides board and accommodation for participating students in equipped local facilities.The main locations will be Pogoniani (main center), Stavroskiani (accommodation), and Dolo (case study).

Due to the limited number of places and the high number of participating universities, 91É«ÇéƬ will be able to participate with 4 students from Master’s degree programs. Selection will be based on portfolio, motivation letter, and a motivational interview (online or in person)
