Abstract
Digitalisation and digital technologies present a great opportunity for Heritage Conservation, particularly regarding our Built Heritage and its sustainable use. This can be for finding the least invasive solution for structural restoration or implementing conservation-compatible and future-proof solutions in energy retrofit of historic buildings. Professionals are needed who can understand and quantify the complex physical processes required with the help of digital tools and will collaborate with their analysis to interdisciplinary dialogue before any conservation-related decision is made. The co-operative M.Sc. on Digital Technologies in Conservation (Digitale Denkmaltechnologien) at the universities of Bamberg and Coburg aim to provide these skills.
