SXNCH and ACCE Projects Gain International Recognition
The SXNCH network and ACCE projects, led by Dr Katrin Wilhelm and Dr Martin Michette, have received international recognition for their work in heritage conservation, featured in a major Italian newspaper. Currently in Pompeii, ACCE unites global professionals to integrate natural and cultural heritage.
Dr Katrin Wilhelm and Dr Martin Michette's collaborative work through the Sites at the Intersection of Natural and Cultural Heritage (SXNCH) network has been featured in a major Italian newspaper.
Acting as the applied arm of SXNCH, the Academy of Conservation and Care for the Environment (ACCE) is currently underway in Pompeii. Focusing on the intersection of nature and culture, ACCE highlights the mutual benefits of integrating natural and cultural heritage in heritage management.
A group of 20 students, young professionals, and experts from Chile, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, India, Italy, Jordan, the Philippines, Tanzania, Tunisia, the UK, and the USA—representing heritage studies, site management, architecture, and environmental governance—are participating at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. Their diverse backgrounds promise a particularly stimulating exchange and sharing of knowledge.
The Academy is run in collaboration with the Pompeii Archaeological Park, the Kompetenzzentrum Denkmalwissenschaften und Denkmaltechnologien (KDWT) of the University of Bamberg, the Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik IBP Holzkirchen, researchers from the University of Oxford, and the World Monuments Fund (WMF). The event was inaugurated by the Director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Gabriel Zuchtriegel.
This international recognition highlights the dedication to holistic heritage management and environmental conservation.
