The Università degli Studi della Tuscia (UNITUS, www.unitus.it), established in 1979, is a public research-led university focused on teaching in a research-intensive environment. UNITUS is active at all levels of higher education comprising undergraduate degrees, master’s degrees, and doctoral degrees, as well as specialization schools. As far as the research, the university’s departments represent an engine for local development, producing innovative prototypes and processes, and are particularly active internationally. In fact, several collaborative projects are carried out, together with institutions and associations, aimed at developing scientific and innovative solutions concerning both research and SMEs. At a European level, the University boasts a history of great participation and coordination of Projects within the Lifelong Learning Programme framework and Erasmus Mundus mobility programme (e.g. Erasmus Intensive Programme, 4 Leonardo da Vinci PLM projects, Transversal KA1, Grundtvig Multilateral Project, EMMC and EMA2). Currently UNITUS in involved in several on-going projects in the 7th EU Framework Programme and HORIZON 2020, either as coordinator or as a research partner.
UNITUS is coordinator of RESEARCH project, by primarily involving some Departments dealing with Sciences for Agriculture, Forests, Nature and Cultural Heritage. These Departments can offer several years of background experience in the different fields addressed by the specific topic of the project: (i) Ancient Topography and Landscape Archaeology; (ii) Satellite and Aerial Remote Sensing for Archaeology; (iii) GIS and WebGIS for Cultural Heritage; (iv) Diagnostic for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; (v) Geophysical prospecting (vi) Geology (vii) Soil Sciences and Land Use; (viii) Biodegradation of Historic Materials. In particular, the specialization in archaeology and geo-archaeology of UNITUS is complemented by the deep knowledge on land use and chemical and physical soil processes as well as on the material degradation phenomena affecting archaeological site preservation.
