22 October 2026 | University of Valencia, Spain
On Thursday, 22 October, Marta Segovia Cobo, professional researcher, delivered a workshop on imaging techniques and emerging technologies for the analysis and conservation of cultural heritage at the Faculty of Geography and History of the University of Valencia.
The session was organised as a complementary activity for students taking the course Technical Analysis and Assessment of Cultural Heritage Assets (Group B), providing an opportunity to explore the scientific methods and digital tools used to investigate and document artworks.
Exploring imaging techniques and new technologies
The workshop introduced students to the role of imaging techniques in cultural heritage research, highlighting how scientific approaches can help researchers examine artworks, identify material characteristics and document their condition.
These techniques offer valuable insights into cultural heritage objects, supporting their technical analysis and contributing to informed decisions about their conservation.
Connecting university teaching with ChemiNova research
The workshop also introduced the work being developed within ChemiNova, an EU-funded Horizon Europe project exploring innovative digital solutions for cultural heritage inspection and condition assessment.
By combining scientific investigation with digital technologies, ChemiNova aims to support the documentation, analysis and monitoring of cultural heritage through integrated tools and workflows.
Activities such as this workshop help connect ongoing research with university teaching, giving students the opportunity to discover how emerging technologies are being applied to real-world challenges in cultural heritage conservation.
ChemiNova would like to thank Marta Segovia Cobo for sharing her expertise and contributing to the exchange of knowledge between research and education.
