Outreach & education

INFN-CHNet for children, students, specialists of cultural heritage and for society

CHNet organizes training courses and dissemination events for students, young researchers and operators of Cultural Heritage. Take part in fairs, restoration salons and scientific festivals to tell about new technologies and applications.

Training Camp

CHNet organizes "on-the-field" training camps of about one week both within the Italian node E-RIHS.it of the European Research Infrastructure E-RIHS and within regional initiatives. These camps are characterized by an extremely practical and multidisciplinary approach, where participants work applying the techniques and using the devices of CHNet and its partners, such as ENEA, CNR and Universities. The courses typically take place in museums or in archaeological sites. PhD students and young researchers in scientific and humanistic disciplines, as well as restorers and art historians are invited to participate.

Physics in Art

PhysicsInArt is an initiative dedicated to high school students: for a day, thanks to the support of the CHNet researchers, students can work on an experiment, collecting data and developing a final report, to be shared and compared with their "colleagues" who are carrying out the same experience in another node on the network.

Festival, fiere ed eventi

INFN-CHNet researchers present their research activities in events open to the public such as the European Research Night (every year, usually the last Friday of September), open days (such as ScienzEstate, Florence node, which takes place every year at the beginning of June, special dissemination initiatives in museums and archaeological sites as part of the Science and (') art exhibition promoted by the Italian Association of Archaeometry. On these occasions, but also on the occasion of scientific festivals, special playful-didactic workshops are also organized for children of the last years of primary and secondary school of first grade. Information points and CHNet workshops are present in professional fairs in the Cultural Heritage sector, such as the Florence Restoration Fair, Lubec (Lucca), Tourisma (Florence).
