BACH Tech Week | Burgos Archeology and Cultural Heritage Technology Week
20th, 21st and 22nd of September 2022
20-22 of September 2022
What is BACH Tech Week?
BACH Tech Week was created as a meeting point for experts in the use of technology in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.
As the new technologies are increasingly being integrated transversally in all types of sectors and areas, secpho is collaborating with the University of Burgos, CSIC Associated Unit of Glass and Cultural Heritage Materials (VIMPAC) and the ED-ARCHMAT project to organise the first conference on the applications of Deep Tech to Archaeology and Cultural Heritage. Participants will also have the opportunity to make 3 visits: one to the Atapuerca Archaeological Site, another to the Museum of Human Evolution, and finally to the Cathedral of Burgos, all of them collaborating centres of this event.
During three days, researchers and companies will meet to raise new challenges, methodologies and innovative technologies, and will discuss different challenges and proposed solutions.
