Guest Lectures in Conservation and Restauration in the Winter Semester 2024/25
In the current winter semester, there are regular guest lectures organised by the Conservation and Restauration degree programme.
We are once again kicking off the guest lecture series for the winter semester 2024/25 with exciting and informative lectures on the theory and practice of restoration. They will take place on selected Tuesday evenings as hybrid events at 6.00 pm in House D.
The lectures and subsequent discussions are a unique opportunity to get to know experts in conservation and restoration and learn about their topics and projects first-hand.
You can also participate in the lectures online via Zoom.
