Italy's Università degli Studi di Firenze (University of Florence, UNIFI) has won a contract with the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for a "partnership to establish a minor degree program in conservation and heritage preservation at Northern Technical University in Mosul."
Contract value is stated as $202,057.20.
The partnership falls in the framework of the project "Revive the Spirit of Mosul", financed by the European Union.
OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS/ DELIVERABLES:
The core of this initiative involves a close collaboration between Northern Technical University (NTU), located in Mosul, and a designated external university with expertise in conservation. The partnership, facilitated by UNESCO, aims to empower NTU's faculty and students through the establishment of a new program focused on conservation and preservation. NTU is fully committed to enhancing the quality of its programs in alignment with the Bologna Process.
The ultimate vision is to create the conditions to establish an official minor program of study at NTU, producing a pool of skilled professionals who will support the Government's efforts in historic preservation in Iraq.
