Research Innovation and Internationalisation. National and international experiences between identity and inclusivity

During the Restoration and Cultural Heritage Days held in Ferrara on the 29th March 2023, it was organized the fifth edition of the Unione Italiana Disegno UID (Italian Association for Drawing) Symposium dedicated to the internationalisation and innovation of research entitled: “National and international experiences between identity and inclusivity”. The aim of the Symposium was to put together research experiences related to international strategies and to introduce the innovation roadmap on some specific topics at the centre of the current ICAR/17 disciplinary debate, as an outcome of the work of the “International relationships” and “Innovation” UID Committees. The 2023 Symposium was focused on research, technology transfer, outcomes and processes from different approaches to the heritage documentation and digital data management at different scales, by comparing national and international experiences. The fifteen contributions described by this book of proceedings explore different topics, all of them related to the concept of “identity” and to different approaches to “inclusivity” of Cultural Heritage, by exploring new ways to make assets more and more accessible, understandable and knowledgeable. Different dimensions of innovation and/or internationalisation run through all the works collected.
